Choose the best location

Where you place the base phone affects the reception quality of the handset.

Away from television sets and other electronic equipment

Near a central location and on a level surface

Away from noise sources such as a window by a street with heavy traffic

Away from heat sources, such as radiators, airducts, and sunlight

Away from a microwave oven

Away from excessive moisture, extremely low temperatures, dust, mechanical vibration, or shock

Away from a personal computer

Away from another cordless telephone

CAUTION: • Should you experience intermittent loss of audio during a conversation, try moving closer to the base or move base phone away from other noise sources.

•The cordless telephone operates at a frequency that may cause interference to nearby TVs and VCRs; the base phone should not be placed near or on the top of a TV or VCR; and, if interference is experienced, moving the cordless telephone farther away from the TV or VCR will often reduce or eliminate the interference.
