Avoid television sets and other electronic equipment

Choose a central location

• The location should be close to both a phone jack and a continuous power outlet (one which is not connected to a switch).

• The main base and each handset should be kept away from sources of electrical noise such as motors, microwave ovens, and fluorescent lighting.

• The cradle can be placed on a desk, tabletop, or mounted on a standard wall plate. For better reception, place the main base as high as possible.

• The main base should be placed in an open area for optimum range and reception.

• Use #10 screws (minimum length of 1-3/8 inches) with anchoring devices suitable for the wall material where the main base will be placed.

1) Insert two mounting screws into the wall, (with their appropriate anchoring device), 3-

15/16 inches apart. Allow about 1/8 of an inch between the wall and screw heads for mounting the phone.
