improve the operating range of the unit.

• Keep the base unit away from electrical equipment. Radio Frequency Interference (RFI) is

sometimes generated by these appliances, which can cause a degradation in cordless reception.

• Keep the handset batteries charged as much as possible. Weak handset batteries can limit the range

of cordless operation.

MAXIMIZING BATTERY LIFE

Repeated use or recharge of Ni-Cd batteries without periodic full discharge results in reduced useable charge time. When you notice the usable charge duration decreasing, fully discharge the Ni -Cd battery and recharge as described:

TECHNICAL INFORMATION

This cordless phone uses radio frequencies to allow mobility. There are certain difficulties in using radio frequencies with a cordless telephone. While these are normal, the following could affect the operation of your system. NOISE: Electric pulse noise is present in most homes at one time or another. This noise is most intense during electrical storms. Certain kinds of electric equipment such as light dimmers, fluorescent bulbs, motors, and fans also generate noise pulses. Because radio frequencies are susceptible to these noise pulses, you may occasionally hear them in your handset. Generally, they are minor annoyances and should not be interpreted as defects in your system. RANGE: Because radio frequencies are used, location of the base unit can affect operating range. Try several locations in your home or business and pick the one that gives you the clearest signal. INTERFERENCE: Some electronic devices operate in and/or generate interference near the operating frequencies of your cordless telephone. While several protection circuits are used to prevent unwanted signals, there may be periods when these unwanted signals cause interference. If interference occurs frequently, it can be minimized or eliminated by lowering the height of your base antenna or by relocating the base unit. You can check for interference before selecting the final base unit location by plugging in the phone.
