Installing the Phone
Choosing the Best Location
Before choosing a location for your new phone, here are some important guidelines you should consider:
Avoid heat sources, such as radiators, | Avoid noise sources such as a window by |
air ducts, and sunlight | a street with heavy traffic |
Avoid television sets and other electronic equipment
Choose a central location
Avoid microwave ovens
Avoid excessive moisture, extremely low temperatures, dust, mechanical vibration, or shock
Avoid personal computers
Avoid other cordless telephones
•The location should be close to both a phone jack and a continuous power outlet (one which is not connected to a switch).
•The base and handset should be kept away from sources of electrical noise such as motors, microwave ovens, and fluorescent lighting.
•The base can be placed on a desk, tabletop, or mounted on a standard wall plate. For better reception, place the base as high as possible.
•The base should be placed in an open area for optimum range and reception.
•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 your alarm equipment, contact your telephone company or a qualified installer.
