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

•You should charge your handset for 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.
