•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.

2 – Plug the power supply cord into the jack located on the back of the base station. Plug the other end of power supply line cord into an electrical outlet.
Always use the cables provided in the box.
Warnings: Use only the power adapter provided for the base station. Always use the cables provided in the box, others may not be compatible.
Note: The base unit needs mains power for normal operation, and the cordless handset will not work without it.
If you have a Broadband line (ADSL)
If you connect your telephone to a line with a broadband (ADSL) connection, you will need to insert a micro-filter between the telephone and the telephone line, otherwise you may get interference between the telephone and the broadband, which could cause problems.
In a home with broadband, every telephone must have a micro-filter connected, not just the one at the telephone point that your modem is connected to. If you need more broadband (ADSL) micro-filters, contact your broadband supplier.
