BASE STATION LOCATION
For maximum operating range, extend the
base station antenna to full length. In most
cases, the best location for the base station
is at the highest point in the house. Avoid
places near electrical appliances and metal
structures such as a refrigerator and filing
cabinets that can reduce operating range
and performance.

Caution
The cordless telephone operates at a
frequency that may cause interference to
nearby TVs and VCRs; the base station
should not be placed near or on top of a TV
or VCR; and, if interference is experienced,
moving the cordless telephone farther away
from the TV or VCR will often reduce or
eliminate the interference.

IMPORTANT: Never attempt to use the cordless phone before this initial battery
charge.

INSTALLING THE HANDSET BAITERY

1. Slide the lid off the battery
compartment.

RECHARGEABLE HANDSET BATTERY

Recharge handset in the base station cradle for a continuous 12 hours when the
BAIT LOW indicator lights. (See page 6).

Repeated recharging for shorter periods may reduce battery capacity.

Battery Refresh
If your battery seems to need recharging more often than usual, it may have lost
part of its charging capacity because of premature recharging. To return the
battery to its full capacity, try the battery refresh procedure.

I Discharge the battery by leaving the handset in talk mode until the BATT LOW

indicator lights. (First, disconnect base station from phone line.)

1 Charge the handset for 12 hours.
I Repeat this procedure once more.

If performance still doesn’t improve, it’s time to replace the battery.

-16-

REMEMBER: Reset security code after a battery refresh (page 8).

REMEMBER:
Your handset battery needs recharging when you hear a beep every 3 seconds
during phone use. (The BAIT LOW indicator also lights.)

Cleaning the contact points

To ensure that the handset battery charges properly, clean the contact points on
the handset and the base station once a month with a soft cloth.

CAUTION

During a lightning storm, or when the cordless telephone will not be in use for an
extended period, you should disconnect it from the telephone line, unplug it from
the AC outlet and remove batteries.

-17-

Although it is unlikely that the base
station will malfunction, if it does, dis­connect it from the telephone line until
proper repairs are completed.

The cordless telephone uses radio fre-

quencies for transmission and recep-

tion, and is subject to certain operating

conditions. The following conditions are
normal and could affect the operation of

your system.

1. NOISE

Electrical pulse noise is present in most
homes at one time or another. This is
most intense during electrical storms.

Certain kinds of electrical equipment
such as light dimmers, fluorescent bulbs,
motors, fans, etc., also generate these

noise pulses. Because radio frequency

transmissions are susceptible to these
pulses, on occasion you may hear them

in your handset. Generally they are a

minor annoyance and should not be
interpreted as a defect in your system.

2. RANGE
Because radio frequencies are used,
the location of the base station can
affect the operation range. Try several
locations in your home or business and
pick the one that gives you the clearest

signal to the handset. Turning around
while holding the handset may help you
find the best position.

3. INTERFERENCE
Electronic circuits activate a relay to
connect the cordless telephone to your
telephone line. These electronic circuits
operate in the radio frequency spec­trum. While several protection circuits

are used to prevent unwanted signals,
there may be periods when these un­wanted signals enter the base station.
You may hear clicks or hear the relay
activate while you are not using the
cordless handset. Ifthis starts occurring
frequently, it can be minimized or elimi­nated by lowering the height of your
base station antenna, or relocating the
base station. Check for interference be­fore selecting your final base station
location by plugging it in and monitoring
it for clicks.

Two cordless systems should not be
operated too close to each other be­cause of interference. This interference
can be reduced by lowering your base
station antenna, thereby reducing its
range.

-18-

Most cordless phone problems can be corrected quickly and easily — without
service. If you experience difficulties, try the suggestions below before taking your
phone in for service.

If the phone doesn’t work at all
I Security code may have been cancelled. To reset, see page 7.

mode, recharge battery. (See page 16.)

I Handset may be too far from base station. Move closer.

The operating range seems shorter

I Check the base station location for interfering objects. (See page 4.)

1 Extend base station antenna to full length.

Handset battery life or standby time seems shorter
I Batteries may not be fully charged, due to dirty contact points. Wipe with a soft

cloth.

I Handset batteries may have been repeatedly recharged before being fully

exhausted. Try Battery Refresh (See page 16).

1 Battery may need replacing (See page 16.)

Incoming calls do not ring on handset
1 Handset may be too far from base station. Move closer.

Reception is noisy (interference, humor static)
I Switch to clearer channel. (See page 7.)
1 Base station may be too close to electrical equipment. Try another location.
1 Handset may be too close to large metal object(s). Move to another location,

or change direction while using handset.

I Lower base station antenna.

If phone still does not work

1 Reset base station and handset as follows:

1. Disconnect AC adaptor, and then reconnect AC adaptor to reset base
station.

2. Disconnect then reconnect the handset battery.

3. Reset security code. (See page 7.)
