Operating range
This cordless telephone operates with the maximum power allowed by the Federal Communications Commission (FCC). Even so, this handset and telephone base can communicate over only a certain distance - which can vary with the locations of the telephone base and handset, the weather, and the layout of your home or office.
When the handset is out of range, the handset displays OUT OF RANGE OR NO PWR AT BASE.
If there is a call while the handset is out of range, it might not ring, or if it does ring, the call might not connect well when you press 
/FLASH. Move closer to the telephone base, then press 
/FLASH to answer the call.
If the handset moves out of range during a telephone conversation, there might be interference. To improve reception, move closer to the telephone base.
ECO mode
This power conserving technology reduces power consumption for optimal battery performance, according to the distance between the telephone base and the handset. When the telephone base communicates with the handset, ECO mode will be activated automatically.
