Features of Cordless Telephones
A. Cordless telephones offer convenience and mobility during telephone conversations. The use of cordless
telephones is dependent upon the availability of AC power. Any disruption of electrical power at your
location will prevent the placing or receiving of telephone calls. It is recommended that a cordless
telephone should not be installed as the only phone at your location.
B. The useable range of the cordless handset away from the base is dependent upon many factors. The
telephone base is like a radio transmitter because it transmits telephone line signals via radio waves to the
handset. Therefore, the location of the base is important in order to maximize the useable range. For
example, installing the base on the second floor, in some locations, will provide longer range than a ground
floor installation. Pick a location that gives you the clearest signal. The following can adversely affect
useable range:
· aluminum siding
· insulation with foil backing
· any metal construction which could shield radio signals.
Atmospheric conditions also play an important role in the performance of your cordless telephone.
Interference can be caused by placing the base near:
· fluorescent lights
· appliances that generate electrical noise, including:
C.Always keep the base antenna fully upright.
D. For maximum performance, always keep the battery pack fully charged.
E. Plug your phone directly into an outlet, not an extension cord.
F. Do not plug other appliances into the outlet or have the outlet controlled by a wall switch.
G. If you want to use more than one cordless telephone in your home, the telephones must operate on
different channels. Press the channel key to select a channel that provides the clearest communication.
