brochure. Here are some important guidelines you should consider:
INSTALLATION
A continuous power
outlet is an AC outlet
which does not have a
switch to interrupt its
power.
Do not place the power
cord in an area where
it may create a trip
hazard or become chafed
and create a fire or
electrical hazard.
Avoid heat sources such as radiators,
air ducts, and sunlight
Avoid television sets and
other electronic equipment
Avoid noise sources such as a window
by a street with heavy traffic
Avoid microwave ovens
Avoid excessive moisture,
extremely low temperatures, dust,
mechanical vibration, or shock
Avoid personal computers
Avoid other cordless telephones
Choose a central location
• The location should be close to both a phone jack and continuous power outlet.
• Keep the base unit and handset away from sources of electrical noise such
as microwave ovens, motors, or fluorescent lighting.
• Be sure there is sufficient space to rotate the base unit antenna to a
vertical position.
• After installing the battery pack in the handset, you should charge your handset
for
