C. Connect the base unit
B. Install the battery pack
A. Choose the best location
Before choosing a location for your new phone, read the INSTALLATION
CONSIDERATIONS included in the PRECAUTIONS. Here are some important guidelines
you should consider:
•
The location should be close to both a phone jack and a continuous power outlet
which is not switchable.
•
Keep the base and handset away from sources of electrical noise such as motors,
microwave ovens, and fluorescent lighting.
•
Be sure there is sufficient space to raise the base antenna to a vertical position.
•
The base can be placed on a desk or tabletop, or it can be mounted on a standard
wall plate.
Avoid excessive moisture,
extremely low temperatures,
dust, mechanical vibration, or
shock
Avoid heat sources, such as radiators,
air ducts, and sunlight
Avoid television sets and other
electronic equipment
Avoid noise sources such as a window by a
street with heavy traffic
Avoid microwave ovens
Avoid personal computers
Avoid other cordless telephones
Choose a central location
If your home has
specially wired alarm
equipment connected to
the telephone line, be
sure that installing the
system does not disable
your alarm equipment.
If you have questions
about what will disable
your alarm equipment,
contact your telephone
company or a qualified
installer.
