NOTE: If you move too far away from the Base Station while on a call,

an alarm tone will emit from the Handset and the Base/Handset Link

icon will flash upon its Display Screen. This means your call will be

disconnected if you do not move back within the Base Station’s range.

Further, if a disconnected Handset is outside of the Base Station’s

range for more than 30 minutes, the phone will automatically turn off.
