Digital Spread Spectrum Technology utilizes a “wider frequency band” vs. a “single narrow band” used in standard digital transmissions. The result is a more secure conversation with the clarity of digital sound, extended range, and minimal interference from other cordless phones.

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:

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.)

Keep the base and handset away from sources of electrical noise such as motors and fluorescent lighting.

Be sure there is sufficient space to rotate the base antenna fully vertical.

The base can be placed on a desk, tabletop or mounted on a standard wall plate.

You should charge your handset for 15-20 hours before connecting the phone line.

If your second phone line has a separate jack, place your phone so you can access both jacks.

Before using your phone, charge the NickelCadmium battery pack for 15-20 hours.
