Installing the Phone
Choosing the Best Location
When choosing a location for your new phone, here are some important guidelines you should consider:
•The location should be close to both a phone jack and a continuous power outlet (one which is not connected to a switch).
•For optimum range and reception, place the base in an open area, as high as possible.
•If your home has wired alarm equipment connected to a phone 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.
