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 25-channel 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.

• 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 handset will not ring.

Plug the other end of the line cord into a modular phone jack. Make sure the plug snaps firmly in place.

5 Mount the base on the wall.
