“ifyou have a problem with your cordless telephone, try the following suggestions
Although it is unhkely that the base slation will malfunction,
ifit does, disconnect itfrom
the telephone tine until proper repairs are compfeled.
The cordless telephone uses radio frequencies for transmission and reception, and is
subjecl to certain operating conditions. The followingconditions are normal and could
affect the operation of your system.
1. NOISE
Electrical pulse noise is present in mosl homes at one time or another. This is most
inlense during electrical storms, Certain kinds 01 electrical equipment such as light
dimmers, fluorescent bulbs, molors, fans, elc., also generate these noise pulses.
Because radio frequency transmissions are susceptible to these pufses, on occasion
you may hear them in your handset. Generalfy they area minor annoyance and should
not ba interpreted as a defect in your system.
2. RANGE
Becausa radio frequencies are used, the location of the base station can affect the
operation range. Try several locations in your homa or business and pick the one that
gives you the cfearest signaf 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 Ihe cordless telephone to your telephone
line. These electronic circuits operate in the radio frequency spectrum. While several
protection circuits are used to prevent unwanted signafs, there maybe periods when
thase unwanted signals enter the base station. You may hear cficks or hear the relay
activate whifeyou are notusingtha cordless handset. ffthis startsoccurringfrequently,
it can be minimized or eliminated by lowering the height of your base station antenna,
or relocating the base station. Check for interference before sefecting your final base
station focation by plugging it in and monitoring it for clicks.
Two cordfess systems should not be operated too close to each other because of
interference. This interference can be reducad by lowering your base station antenna,
thereby reducing its range.
