1. Getting started
IMPORTANT
Do not place your IT6 in the bathroom or other humid areas.
Location
You need to place your IT6 base within 6 feet of an electrical outlet and a telephone wall
socket to provide the power to supply the device and to connect to telephone service.
Make sure it is at least 3 feet away from other electrical appliances to avoid interference.
Your IT6 works by sending radio signals between the handset and base. The strength of
the signal depends on where you place the base. Putting it as high as possible ensures the
best signal.
HANDSET RANGE
The unit has a range of up to 650 feet outdoors when there is a clear line of sight between
the base and handset. Any obstruction between the base and handset will reduce the
range signicantly. With the base indoors and the handset either indoors or outdoors, the
range will normally be up to 100 feet. Thick concrete and stone walls can severely aect
the range.
