Battery charge

LPlace the handset on the cradle of the base

unit for about 6 hours before initial use.

LFor details, see page 20.

Operating distance and noise

LThe base unit and handset use radio waves

to communicate with each other.

For maximum distance and noise-free

operation, we recommend the following:

Note:

LIf you use the handset near a microwave

oven which is being used, noise may be

heard from the receiver or the speaker. Move

away from the microwave oven and closer to

the base unit.

LIf you use the handset near another cordless

phone’s base unit, noise may be heard. Move

away from the other cordless phone’s base

unit and closer to your base unit.

generating devices, such as fluorescent

lamps and motors.

period of time, unplug this unit from power

outlet.
