AT&T 9200 User Manual

OPERATING RANGE

This cordless telephone operates at the maximum power
allowed by the Federal Communications Commission
(FCC). Even so, this 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. For best
performance, keep the base antenna fully extended.

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 c loser 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 without pressing o, your

phone will be left “off the hook.” To hang up properly,
walk back into range, periodically pressing o.

This cordless phone has ten channels available for
maximum performance.
