Operating Range
This cordless telephone operates with the maximum power allowed by the Federal Communications Commission (FCC). Even so, this handset and telephone base can communicate over only a certain distance which can vary with the locations of the telephone base and handset, the weather, and the layout of your home or office.
When the handset is out of range, the handset will display Searching. You can access the handset directory, and certain parts of the menu system, i.e. handset setting and registration, but not the time setting and base setting. Not possible will be displayed if access is tried.
If there is a call while the handset is out of range, it might not ring, or if it does ring, the call might not connect well
when you press TALK/FLASH
. Move closer to the telephone base, and then press TALK/FLASH
to answer the call.
If the handset moves out of range during a telephone conversation, there might be interference. To improve reception, move closer to the base.
