About Cordless Phone Performance
Your Cobra
Intenna
cordless phone uses radio transmission to communicate
between the base and handset. It is thus subject to occasional interference—
static or buzzing noises, for example. These conditions may be caused by
electrical motors on household appliances, fluorescent lights, electrical storms
and other sources.
These steps will enhance the maximum performance of your new phone:
•
Change channels by pressing the CHANNEL button on the handset
if you experience interference.
•
Don't cover the upper section of the cordless handset with your
hand
(see diagram below). This may block the internal antenna
located at the top of the handset, possibly reducing the phone's range
and audio clarity. Always hold the handset at the middle or close to
the bottom.
•
Avoid resting the handset on your shoulder
during conversations;
this may also block the performance of the internal antenna.
•
Avoid plugging your phone's power cord into an active AC
outlet
that also provides power for a major appliance or for charging units
for cordless appliances (vacuums, screwdrivers, etc.) or other elec-
tronic devices.
Hold the
cordless handset at
the middle or bottom
area of your phone
for best performance
and range.
