Installation
Ô NOTE Ô
If your home has specially wired alarm equipment connected to the telephone line, be sure that installing the system does not disable your alarm equipment.
If you have questions about what will disable alarm equipment, contact your telephone company or a qualified installer.
INSTALLATION
Before using your phone, carefully peel the protective film off the display. The film protects the handset window during shipment and is not necessary for use.
SELECTING A LOCATION
You can place the phone’s base on a desk or table, or mount it on a standard wall plate or directly on a wall. Select a location that is:Ô
•near an accessible AC outlet
•near a telephone line jack
•out of the way of normal activities
•away from electrical machinery, electrical appliances, metal walls or filing cabinets, wireless intercoms, alarms, and room monitors
•away from other cordless phones
The base’s location affects the handset’s range. If you have a choice of several locations, try each to see which provides the best performance.
The handset antenna is located on the back, above the ringer speaker. For maximum communication range, do not hold the handset in such a way as to cover the antenna by your hand. Also, place the handset in the upright position while not in use so the antenna can pick up the signals from the base.
When there is obstacle such as metal or concrete wall between the handset and the base, the operation might be affected. Try to keep free from obstruction.
