Location
When choosing a location for your new phone, here are
some important guidelines you should consider:
• Avoid sources of noise and heat, such as motors,
fluorescent lighting, microwave ovens, heating
appliances and direct sunlight.
• Avoid areas of excessive dust, moisture and low
temperature.
• Avoid other cordless telephones or personal
computers.
• Never install telephone wiring during a lightning
storm.
• Never install telephone jacks in wet locations unless
the jack is specifically designed for wet locations.
Getting started 7
• Never touch non-insulated telephone wires or
terminals unless the telephone line has been
disconnected at the network interface.
• Use caution when installing or modifying telephone
lines.
HANDSET RANGE
Optimal range is reached when there are no other
electrical appliances working within the range area. Any
obstruction between the corded base and cordless
handset will also reduce the range significantly.

BATTERY PERFORMANCE
In ideal conditions, a fully charged battery pack should
give up to 12 hours talk time and up to 180 hours
standby time on a single charge.
Note that new battery packs do not reach full capacity
until they have been in normal use for several days.
To keep your battery packs in the best condition, leave
the cordless handset off the charger for a few hours at
a time.
Running the battery packs right down at least once a
week will help them last as long as possible.
The charge capacity of rechargeable battery packs will
reduce with time as they wear out, giving the cordless
handset less talk/standby time. Eventually they will
need to be replaced.
After charging your cordless handset for the first time,
subsequent charging time is about 6-8 hours a day. The
battery pack and cordless handset may become warm
during charging. This is normal.
