tra nsmitter in that it tra nsmits telephone line signals vi a rad io waves
to the handset. Therefore, the location of t he base is important
in order to maximize the us a ble range. For example, installing
the base on the second floor , in some locations, will provide longer
ra nge t han a ground floor installation. Pick a location that gives
you the clearest signal. The f ollowing ca n a dversely affect usa ble
ra nge:
* Aluminum sid ing
* Insulation with foil ba ck ing
* Any metal construction which could shield radio signals

Atmospheric conditions also play an important role in the perfor­ma nce of your cordle ss tele phone.

Interference can be caused by placing t he base near:

* Fluorescent lights
* Appliances that generate electrical noise, including:

* Microwaves
* T elevisions
