Before choosing a location for your new phone, read the INSTALLATION CONSIDERA- TIONS included in the PRECAUTIONS AND IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS brochure. Here are some important guidelines you should consider:

Avoid heat sources, such as radiators, air ducts, and sunlight

Avoid television sets and other electronic equipment

Avoid noise sources such as a window by a street with heavy traffic

Avoid microwave ovens

Avoid excessive moisture, extremely low temperatures, dust, mechanical vibration, or shock

Choose a central location

Avoid personal computers

Avoid other cordless telephones

•You should charge your handset for more than 12-15 hours before using the phone.

•The location should be close to both a phone jack and a continuous power outlet which is not switchable.

•Keep the base and handset away from sources of electrical noise such as motors and fluorescent lighting.

•Be sure there is sufficient space to raise the base antenna fully vertical.

•The base can be placed on a desk, tabletop or mounted on a standard wall plate.

•If your second phone line has a separate jack, place your phone so you can access both jacks.
