Location

You need to place your Slim base within 2 metres of the mains power socket and telephone socket so that the cables will reach. Make sure it is at least 1 metre away from other electrical appliances to avoid interference. Your unit works by sending radio signals between the handset and base. The strength of the signal depends on where you site the base. Putting it as high as possible ensures the best signal.

Handset range

The Slim has a range of 300 metres outdoors when there is a clear line of sight between the base and handset. Any obstruction between the base and handset will reduce the range. With the base indoors and handset either indoors or outdoors, the range will normally be up to 50 metres. Thick concrete walls can severely affect the range.
