Telephone Line Problems

if you are having trouble with your telephone service,
you must first disconnect your phone to determine if
it is the cause of your problem. If you determine that
it is the cause, you must leave it disconnected until
the trouble has been corrected.

Radio Interference

Radio interference may occasionally cause buzzing
and humming in your cordless Handset, or clicking
noises in the Base Unit. This interference is caused
by external sources such as TV, refrigerator, vacuum
cleaner, fluorescent lighting, or electrical storm. Your
unit is NOT DEFECTIVE. If these noises continue
and are too distracting, please check around your
home to see what appliances may be causing the
problem. In addition, we recommend that the Base
not be plugged into a circuit that also powers a major
appliance because of the potential for interference.
Be certain that the antenna on the unit is fully

extended when needed.

In the unlikely event that you consistently hear other

voices or distracting transmissions on your phone,
you may be receiving radio signals from another
cordless telephone or other source of interference. If
you cannot eliminate this type of interference, you
need to change to a different channel.

Finally, it should be noted that some cordless

telephones operate at frequencies that may cause

interference to nearby TVs and VCRs. To minimize

or prevent such interference, the base of the
cordless telephone should not be placed near or on
top of a TV or VCR. If interference is experienced,
moving the cordless telephone farther away from the
TV or VCR will often reduce or eliminate the
interference.

More Than One Cordless Telephone

If you want to use more than one cordless telephone

in your home, they must operate on different
channels. Press the channel key to select a channel
that provides the clearest communication.

Installation

Selecting a Location

Before choosing a location for your new phone, there
are some important guidelines you should consider:

l The location should be close to both a

phone jack and power outlet.

l Keep the Base Unit and Handset away from

sources of electrical noise such as motors
or fluorescent lighting.

l Be sure there is sufficient space to fully

extend the Base Unit antenna.

l The Base Unit can be placed on a desk or

tabletop

l If you decide to mount your phone on the

wall, make sure to change the handset

retainer so that the tab which holds the
Handset faces up. (See page 14 for more
information.)

l You should charge your new phone for

15-20 hours before completing the
installation or using the Handset.

Connecting the Telephone Cords

Consider these safety guidelines before connecting
the telephone cords:

CAUTION:

l Never install telephone wiring during a

lightning storm.

or mounted on a wall.

l Never touch uninsulated telephone wires or

terminals unless the telephone line has been

disconnected.

l Use caution when

installing

or modifying

telephone lines.
