For Best Performance

Battery charge

The handset is powered by a rechargeable Nickel-Metal Hydride (Ni-MH) battery. Charge the battery for 6 hours before initial use (p. 13).

• As preventative maintenance, clean the handset and base unit charge contacts with a soft, dry cloth once a month. Clean more often if the unit is subject to grease, dust or high humidity.

Otherwise the battery may not charge properly.

Base unit location/Noise

Calls are transmitted between the base unit and handset using wireless radio waves. For maximum distance and noise-free operation, the recommended base unit location is:

Away from electrical appliances such as a TV, personal computer, cellular phone charging units

or another cordless phone.

In a HIGH and CENTRAL location with no obstructions such as walls.

Raise the antennas.

Note:

•If 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.

•If 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.
