O P E R A T I N G R A N G E

This cordless telephone operates at the
maximum power allowed by the Federal
Communications Commission (FCC).
Even so, the handset and base can
communicate over only a certain distance
—which can vary with the locations of the
base and handset, the weather, and the
construction of your home or office.

If the handset is moved to a point where
the base and handset can no longer
communicate, the handset will sound two
short beeps when you make a call,
indicating that you are out of range. Move
close to the base to restore normal
operation.

If you receive a call while you are out of
range, the handset might not ring — or if

it does ring, the call might not connect
when you press P. Move closer to the
base, then press P to answer the call.

If you move out of range during a phone
conversation, you will hear noise or
interference. To improve reception, move
closer to the base.

If you move out of range while on a call,
the phone will be left “off the hook.” To
hang up properly, walk back into range,
periodically pressing P until the
PHONE light goes off.

Changing Channels

This cordless telephone has an advanced
AutoSelect feature that minimizes the
chance of interference.

In the unlikely event that you notice noise or
interference while using the handset:

1 Press C.
2 If the interference does not clear,

continue to press C until you find
a clear channel (your call will not be
interrupted

—OR—

Move closer to the base and press
C.

NOTE: You must be in range to change
channels.

electrical outlet (110v AC).

2 Install the handset battery.

(For an illustration of battery instal­lation, see “BA TTERIES.”)

• Plug the battery pack connector into
the handset and place the battery
pack into the case, so the wires rest
between the battery pack and
the case.

• Place the battery case cover on the
handset by sliding it on its track up
over the battery case until it snaps
firmly in place.

3 Set the handset ringer switch.

Set the switch on the side of the
handset to ON so the handset will ring.
When this switch is set to OFF the

NOTE: if you set the ringer switch to
OFF, the handset battery will last longer.
However, when the ringer is set to OFF,
