Installing the Phone
Choosing the Best Location
When choosing a location for your new phone, here are some important guidelines you should consider:
• The location should be close to both a phone jack and a continuous power outlet (one which is not connected
to a switch).
• The base and handset should be kept away from sources of electrical noise such as motors, microwave ov-
ens, and fluorescent lighting.
• For better reception, place the base as high as possible.
• The base should be placed in an open area for optimum range and reception.
• If your home has wired alarm equipment connected to a phone line, be sure that installing the system does
not disable your alarm equipment. If you have questions about what will disable alarm equipment, contact
your telephone company or a qualified installer.
Note: For maximum range:
• Keep the antenna free of obstruction. ./_
• When the handset is not in use, place the handset in an upright position.
• Do not hold the handset where you would block the signal.
• Metal and reinforced concrete may affect cordless telephone performance.
