suggestions might help.

tems, intercoms, room monitors, fluorescent
lights, and electrical appliances.

at a useful distance from the
base because the signal
becomes weak or noisy (hand-
set’s range has decreased).

face.
Return the handset to the cradle, and recharge
the battery pack. Replace the battery pack if nec-
essary (see “Replacing the Battery Pack” on
