WARNING
Do not place your phone in the bathroom or other humid areas.
Location
When choosing a location for your new phone, here are some important
guidelines you should consider:
• Avoid sources of noise and heat, such as motors, fluorescent lighting,
microwave ovens, heating appliances and direct sunlight.
• Avoid areas of excessive dust, moisture, and low temperature.
• Avoid other cordless telephones or personal computers.
• Never install telephone wiring during a lightning storm.
• Never install telephone jacks in wet locations unless the jack is
specifically designed for wet locations.
• Never touch non-insulated telephone wires or terminals unless the
telephone line has been disconnected at the network interface.
• Use caution when installing or modifying telephone lines.
HANDSET RANGE
Optimal range is reached when there are no other electrical appliances
working within the range area. Any obstruction between the base and
handset will also reduce the range significantly.
SIGNAL STRENGTH
When out of range of the base, the screen shows
SEARCHING....
If you are
on a call, the line will disconnect. Move back within in range of the base.
The handset will automatically re-connect to the base.
