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).
For optimum range and
reception, place the base in an
open area, as high as possible.
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 qualied
installer.
Note: For maximum range:
Keep both the base and handset antennas free of obstruction.
When the handset is not in use, place the handset in an upright position.
Metal and reinforced concrete may affect cordless telephone performance.
