Installation Location
For maximum coverage and reduce the interference, here are some guidelines you
should consider when you place the base unit,
• Place it at a convenient, high, and central location with no obstructions between the
handset and base unit in an indoor environment.
• Place it away from electronic appliances such as televisions, microwave ovens, radios,
personal computers, wireless devices or other cordless phones.
• Avoid facing radio frequency transmitters, such as external antennas of mobile phone
cell stations.
• Avoid plugging it into the same circuit as other major household electrical appliances
because of the potential for interference. Try moving the appliance or the base unit to
another power outlet.
If the reception for a base unit location is not satisfactory, move it to another location
for better reception. Depending on the surrounding conditions as well as spatial
and structural factors, the range may be reduced. The range indoors is normally less
than outdoors.

just the one at the telephone point that your modem is connected to. If you need more
broadband (ADSL) micro-lters, contact your broadband supplier.
