Operating Range
This cordless telephone operates within the maximum power allowed by the Federal Com- munications Commission (FCC). Even so, this handset and base can communicate over only a certain distance — which can vary with the locations of the base and handset, the weather, and the construction of your home or office.
If you receive a call while you are out of range, the handset might not ring — or if it does ring, the call might not connect when you press ON. Move closer to the base, then press ON to answer the call.
If you move out of range during a phone conversation, you might hear noise or interference. To improve reception, move closer to the base.
