may be heard. Move away from the microwave oven and bring the handset closer to the base unit.

L If you use the handset or base unit near another cordless phone’s base unit, noise may

be heard. Move away from the other cordless phone’s base unit and bring the handset closer to your base unit.

Environment:

L Keep the product away from electrical noise generating devices, such as fluorescent

lamps and motors.

L The product should be kept free from excessive smoke, dust, high temperature, and

vibration.

L The product should not be exposed to direct sunlight. L Do not place heavy objects on top of the product. L When you leave the product unused for a long period of time, unplug the product from

the Household Mains Supply.

L The product should be kept away from heat sources such as heaters, kitchen stoves,

etc. It should not be placed in rooms where the temperature is less than 0 °C or greater than 40 °C. Damp basements should also be avoided.

L The maximum calling distance may be shortened when the product is used in the

following places: Near obstacles such as hills, tunnels, underground, near metal objects such as wire fences, etc.

L Operating the product near 2.4 GHz electrical appliances may cause interference. Move

away from the electrical appliances.

Introduction

Obstacles during Wireless Connection:

The radio wave range may decrease depending on the surrounding environment or existence of obstacles. If obstacles such as the following are placed between the base unit and the handset (or a wireless device), radio waves will weaken. Therefore, even if the distance between the base unit and the handset (or the wireless device) is short, noise may be heard.

L A metallic door or shutter L A wall with an insulation material that contains aluminum foil L A wall made of tin L A wall made of concrete, stone or brick L Fireproof glass L Several walls separated by open space L A steel shelf
