Introduction

For best performance

Base unit location/noise

The base unit and handset use radio waves to communicate with each other. For maximum distance and noise-free operation, we recommend the following:

L Placing the unit away from electrical appliances such as a TV, personal computer or another cordless phone.

L Placing the base unit in a HIGH and CENTRAL location with no obstructions such as walls.

L Raising the antennas vertically.

L If you use the handset near a microwave oven which is being used, noise may be heard. Move away from the microwave oven and closer to the base unit.

L If you use the handset near another cordless phone’s base unit, noise may be heard. Move away from the other cordless phone’s base unit and closer to your base unit.

Environment

L Keep the unit away from electrical noise generating devices, such as fluorescent lamps and motors.

L The unit should be kept free from excessive smoke, dust, high temperature and vibration.

L The unit should not be exposed to direct sunlight.

L Do not place heavy objects on top of the unit.

L When you leave the unit unused for a long period of time, unplug this unit from power outlet.

L The unit should be kept away from heat sources such as heaters, kitchen stoves, etc. It should not be placed in rooms where the temperature is less than 5 °C (41 °F) or greater than 40 °C (104 °F). Damp basements should also be avoided.

L The maximum calling distance may be shortened when the unit is used in the following places: Near obstacles such as hills, tunnels, undergrounds, near metal objects such as wire fences, etc.

L Operating near 5.8 GHz electrical appliances may cause interference. Move away from the electrical appliances.

Routine care

L Wipe the outer surface of the unit with a soft cloth. Do not use benzine, thinner or any abrasive powder.
