Installing the Phone
Choosing the Best Location
When choosing a location for your new phone, here are some important guidelines you should consider:
•
The location should be close to both a phone jack and a power outlet that is not connected to a wall switch.
•
The base and handset should be kept away from sources of electrical noise such as motors, microwave ov
ens, and uorescent lighting.
•
For better reception, place the base as high as possible.
•
The base should be placed in an open area for optimum range and reception.
•
If your home has specially wired alarm equipment connected to a phone line, be sure that installing the sys
tem does not disable your alarm equipment. If you have questions about what will disable alarm equipment,
contact your telephone company or a qualied installer.
