About Cordless Phone Performance

Your Cobra Intenna cordless phone uses radio transmission to communicate between the base and handset. It is thus subject to occasional interferenceÑstatic or buzzing noises, for example. These conditions may be caused by electrical motors on household appliances, ßuorescent lights, electrical storms and other sources.

These steps will enhance the maximum performance of your new phone:

•Change channels by pressing the CHANNEL button on the handset if you experience interference.

•Don’t cover the upper section of the cordless handset with your hand (see diagram below). This may block the internal antenna located at the top of the handset, possibly reducing the phoneÕs range and audio clarity. Always hold the handset at the middle or close to the bottom

Hold the cordless

handset at the middle or bottom area of your phone for best performance and range.

INCORRECT CORRECT

•Avoid resting the handset on your shoulder during conversations; this may also block the performance of the internal antenna.

•Avoid plugging your phone’s power cord into an active AC outlet that also provides power for a major appliance or for charging units a for cordless appliances (vacuums, screwdrivers, etc.) or other electronic devices.
