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 which provides the best performance.
