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 ov-
•
ens, 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.

Before doing this, consider the following:
Avoid electrical cables, pipes, or other items behind the mounting location that
•
could cause a hazard when inserting screws into the wall.
Try to mount your phone within 5-feet of a working phone jack to avoid excessive
•
wire lengths.

Use #10 screws with a minimum length of 1-3/8 inches, with anchoring devices
•
suitable for the wall material where the base unit will be placed.
Insert two mounting screws into the wall, using the appropriate anchoring device,
1)
3-15/16 inches apart. Allow about 1/8 inch between the wall and screw heads for
mounting the phone.

be stored and will only display at time of new incoming calls. When Phonebook entries are full, you will hear a beep
and MEMORY FULL appears. You cannot store any additional names and numbers unless you delete some of the
existing ones.
You can also use the Phonebook or speed dial locations to store a group of numbers (up to 32 digits) that you may
need to enter once your call connects. This is referred to as Chain Dialing.
