Basic Operation
Operating Range
This cordless telephone operates within the maximum power allowed by the
Federal Communications Commission (FCC). Even so, this 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 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 PHONE. Move closer to
the base, then press PHONE to answer the call.
If you move out of range during a phone conversation, you might hear noise or
interference. To improve reception, move closer to the base.
If you move out of range without pressing OFF, your phone will be left off the
hook. To hang up properly, walk back into range, periodically pressing OFF.
