What kind of phone do I need to work with the Wireless Home
Phone Base?
Most standard touch-tone phones may be used. Rotary phones are
not supported. Cordless phone systems provide the most flexibility
and allow you to easily place additional handsets throughout your
home. Cordless phone systems still need to be plugged into a
power outlet.
During a power outage, a standard corded phone which doesn’t
require electrical power is recommended.
How do I install my Wireless Home Phone Base?
Please see your Quick Start for the most common installation
methods. Other helpful information:
•   Installation near a window or outside wall is strongly recommended 
to ensure the strongest possible wireless signal in order to
maximize voice quality.
•   If the Wireless Home Phone Base signal strength indicator 
does not display high signal strength (Green) or voice quality is
unacceptable, you may need to relocate the device to another
part of the home with a stronger wireless signal.
Will my Wireless Home Phone Base work in areas with no or low
wireless signal strength?
A strong wireless signal (Green) is recommended for optimal
performance. A moderate signal (Yellow) may be sufficient.
If you do not see a green light, you may want to choose an
alternate location.
Does the Wireless Home Phone Base support data or
text messaging?
No, only voice services are supported.
