2.1 Package Contents

The package contains the following items:

Handset Charger AC power adapter 2 AAA Ni-MH rechargeable batteries User’s manual Warranty card

2.2 Location

For maximum coverage and reduce the interference, here are some guidelines you should consider when you place the base unit:

Place your telephone within 2 metres of the mains power socket and telephone socket so that the cables will reach.

Make sure it is at least 1 metre away from other electrical appliances to avoid interference. Your telephone works by sending radio signals between the handset and base. The strength of the signal depends on where you locate the base. Putting it as high as possible ensures the best signal.

The maximum range between the base station and the handset is approximately 300 metres.

If the reception for a base unit location is not satisfactory, move it to another location for better reception.

Depending on the surrounding conditions as well as spatial and structural factors, the range may be reduced. The range indoors is normally less than outdoors.
