2.1 Package Contents
The package contains the following items:
1 Handset
1 Base station
1 AC power adapter for base
2 Telephone line cords
1 NiMH rechargeable battery pack
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 station:
- 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.
If the reception for the base station 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.
