OPERATING RANGE
This cordless telephone operates at the
maximum power allowed by the Federal
Communications Commission (FCC).
Even so, the handset and base can
communicate over only a certain distance
— which can vary with the locations of
the base and handset, the weather, and the
construction of your home or office.
When you make a call, if the handset is at
a point where the base and handset can not
communicate, the handset will sound two
short beeps, indicating that you are
out of range. Move closer to the base to
restore normal operation.
If you receive a call while you are out of
range, the handset might not ring — or if
it does ring, the call might not connect
when you press P. Move closer to the
base, then press P to answer the call.
If you move out of range during a
phone conversation, you will hear noise or
interference. To improve reception, move
closer to the base.
If you move out of range while on a call,
the phone will be left “off the hook.” To
hang up properly, walk back into range,
periodically pressing P until the
PHONE light goes off.
Changing Channels
This cordless telephone has an advanced
AutoSelect feature that minimizes the
chance of interference. Every time you
answer or make a call, the AutoSelect
feature searches for and selects a clear
channel.
In the unlikely event that you notice noise
or interference while using the handset:
1 Press C.
2 If the interference does not clear,
continue to press C until
you find a clear channel (your call
will not be interrupted)
OR—
Move closer to the base and press
C.
NOTE: You must be in range to change
channels.
