Where you place the phone affects the reception quality of the handset:
Away from another cordless telephone
Place the base near an AC electrical outlet and near telephone line jack
Place the base away from metal walls and metal file cabinets
Raise the base unit s antenna making sure it points towards the ceiling
The cordless telephone operates at a frequency that may cause
interference to nearby TVs and VCRs; the base phone should not be
placed near or on top of a TV or VCR. If interference is experi-enced,
moving the cordless telephone farther away from the TV or
VCR will often reduce or eliminate the interference.
CAUTION:
: While the 2.4GHz frequency is inherently clearer, we suggest that
you do not use this phone within 20 feet of a working microwave.
The microwave produces frequencies in this range which may
cause interference. This interference is normal for all 2.4GHz
phones and should not be considered a product defect.
