Setting up the base station and charging cradle (if included)
The base station and charging cradle are designed for use in enclosed dry
rooms with a temperature range of +5 °C to +45 °C.
¤ Set up the base station and charging cradles at a central location on a flat,
non-slip surface in your house or apartment.

Pay attention to the range of the base station.
This is up to 300 m in unobstructed outdoor areas and up to 50 m inside
buildings.
The phone's feet do not usually leave any marks on surfaces. However, due to
the multitude of different varnishes and polishes used on today's furnishings,
the occurrence of marks on the surfaces cannot be completely ruled out.
