OPERATING RANGE
This cordless telephone operates within 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.
If the handset is moved to a point where the base and handset can no longer
communicate, the handset will sound two short beeps when you make a
call, 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 again to answer the call.
If you move out of range during a phone conversation, you will be
interrupted by silence, noise or interference. To improve reception, move
closer to the base.
If you move out of range without pressing P, the phone will be left
“off the hook.” To hang up properly, walk back into range, periodically
pressing P until the disappears from the display.
