Cordless telephones use radio frequencies to allow mobility. This affects the performance of your phone.
1. NOISE
Electrical pulse noise is present in most homes at one time or another. This is most intense during electri- cal storms. Certain kinds of electrical equipment, such as light dimmers, fluorescent bulbs, motors, fans, etc., also generate pulse noise.
Because radio frequencies are susceptible to this, you may on occasion hear pulse noise through
the handset. This is usually only a minor annoyance and should not be interpreted as a defect of the phone.
2. RANGE
Because radio frequencies are used, the location of the base station can affect the operating range of the phone. Try several locations and choose the one that gives the clear- est signal to the handset. Generally, a central area on the highest floor in a
3. INTERFERENCE
Electronic circuits activate a relay to connect the unit to your telephone line. These electronic circuits operate in the radio frequency spectrum. While several protection circuits are used to prevent unwanted signals, there may be periods when these unwanted signals enter the base station. You may hear a click or hear the relay activate when you are not using the cordless handset. If this occurs frequently, or relocating the base station.
4. RADIO EQUIPMENT
The term "IC:" before the radio certification number only signifies that Industry Canada technical specifications were met. Operation is subject to the following two conditions (as set by Industry Canada): (1) this device may not cause interference, and (2) this device must accept any
