OPERATING RANGE
This cordless telephone operates within the maximum power allowed by the
Federal Communications Commission (FCC). Even so, the 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 the handset is moved to a point where the base and handset can no longer
communicate, the handset will sound two short beeps when you make a
call, indicating that you are out of range. Move closer to the base to restore
normal operation.
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
P
.
Move closer to the base, then press
P
again to answer the call.
If you move out of range during a phone conversation,
you will be
interrupted by silence, noise or interference. To improve reception, move
closer to the base.
If you move out of range without pressing
P
, the phone will be left
“off the hook.” To hang up properly, walk back into range, periodically
pressing
P
until the
disappears from the display.
