Choosing the Best Location
When choosing a location for your new phone, here are some important guidelines you should consider:
The location should be close to both a phone jack and a continuous power outlet (one which is not connected to a
•
switch).
The base and handset should be kept away from sources of electrical noise such as motors, microwave ovens,
•
and uorescent lighting.
For better reception, place the base as high as possible.
•
The base should be placed in an open area for optimum range and reception.
•
If your home has wired alarm equipment connected to a phone 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 qualied installer.
Note: For maximum range:
Keep the antenna free of obstruction.
•
When the handset is not in use, place the handset in an upright position.
•
Do not hold the handset where you would block the signal.
•
Metal and reinforced concrete may affect cordless telephone performance.
