Installation

Important:

Before beginning installation, please read and understand “Important Safety Instructions” and “Safety Instructions for Installation Personnel” at the beginning of this booklet.

Be sure the base is unplugged before you begin.

Positioning the Base

The MLC-6 cordless phone uses radio transmissions to communi- cate. Its range depends on your particular operating environment, and can be improved by placing the base in an optimal location.

The base can be placed on a desk or table or mounted on a wall, preferably one that is not made of metal.

Before you install the phone, note the following considerations regarding its location and use:

■Mount the base near the center of the area in which the hand- set will be used, but at least 20 feet away from the control unit.

■Install the base within 6 feet of a properly grounded 3-prong electrical outlet that is not controlled by an on/off switch.

■The base should not share the same power line or be within 6 feet of electromagnetic equipment such as electric motors, or equipment with microprocessors such as answering machines, personal computers, and fax machines.

■If your phone system uses an uninterruptable power supply, such as a backup generator, be sure to connect the base for the cordless phone to that power supply.

■If other people in your area also use cordless phones, assign different channels for their phones to help prevent interference. Using different channels will not prevent monitoring by radio scanners and similar devices, however. To assign different channels to each cordless phone, follow the instructions in “Programming Channels (More Than One Cordless Phone).”

■If more than one cordless phone is being used, do not place a handset from one cordless phone into the base of another. If this accidentally occurs, place each handset in the correct base for at least 10 seconds.
