The Basics
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:
•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
• If your home has specially wired alarm NOTES 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.
The location of the base affects the handset’s range. If you have a choice of several locations, try each to see whichprovides the best performance.
