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.
