This cordless telephone answering system operates at the maximum power al-
lowed 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. For best performance, make sure the base antenna is fully upright, as
shown in the Installation section of this manual.
If the handset is moved to a point where the base and handset can no longer com-
municate, you are “out of range.” When you try to make a call, the handset will
sound two short beeps to indicate that you are out of range.
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 again 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 attempt to hang up while you are out of range, the phone will be left “off
the hook.” To hang up, walk back into range, periodically pressing P until the
PHONE light goes off.
Changing Channels
This cordless telephone has an advanced 25-channel Auto Select feature that mini-
mizes the chance of interference. Every time you answer or make a call, the Auto
Select feature searches for and selects a clear channel.
In the unlikely event that you hear noise or interference while using the handset:
1 Press h.
2 If the interference does not clear, continue to press h until you
find a clear channel (your call will not be interrupted)
— OR —
Move closer to the base and press h.
NOTE: You must be in range to change channels.
