SELECTING A LOCATION

Before choosing a location for your new phone, read the
INSTALLATION CONSIDERATIONS included in the PRECAUTIONS AND
IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS brochure. Here are some
important guidelines you should consider:

l The location should be close to both

a phone jack and a continuous power
outlet. (A continuous power outlet is an
AC outlet which does not have a switch
to interrupt its power.)

l Keep the base and handset away from

sources of electrical noise such as
motors and fluorescent lighting.

l Be sure there is sufficient space to rotate the base antenna

fully vertical.

l The base can be placed on a desk, tabletop or mounted on a standard

wall plate.

l You should charge your handset for 15-20 hours before connecting the

phone line.

l If your second phone line has a separate jack, place your phone so you

can access both jacks.
