line, be sure that installing the
system does not disable your
alarm equipment. If you have
questions about what will disable
alarm equipment, contact your
telephone company or a qualifi ed
installer.
Note: For maximum range:
Keep both the base and handset antennas free of obstruction.•
When the handset is not in use, place the handset in an upright position.•
Metal and reinforced concrete may affect cordless telephone performance.•
Avoid heat sources, such
as radiators, air ducts,
and sunlight
Avoid television sets
and other electronic
equipment
Choose a central location
Avoid noise sources such
as a window by a street
with heavy traffic
Avoid sources of electrical
noise such as motors,
microwave ovens, and
fluorescent lighting
Avoid excessive moisture,
extremely low
temperatures, dust,
mechanical vibration, or
shock
Avoid personal computers
Avoid other cordless telephones
