WARNING
Do not place your phone in the bathroom or other humid
areas.
Location
When choosing a location for your new phone, here are
some important guidelines you should consider:
• Avoid sources of noise and heat, such as motors,
fluorescent lighting, microwave ovens, heating
appliances and direct sunlight.
• Avoid areas of excessive dust, moisture and low
temperature.
• Avoid other cordless telephones or personal computers.
• Never install telephone wiring during a lightning storm.
• Never install telephone jacks in wet locations unless the
jack is specifically designed for wet locations.
• Never touch non-insulated telephone wires or terminals
unless the telephone line has been disconnected at the
network interface.
• Use caution when installing or modifying telephone lines.
HANDSET RANGE
Optimal range is reached when there are no other electrical
appliances working within the range area. Any obstruction
between the base and handset will also reduce the range
significantly.
SIGNAL STRENGTH
When out of range of the base, the screen shows
SEARCHING...
.
If you are on a call, the line will hang up. Move back within in
range. The handset will automatically re-connect to the base.
Setting up
IMPORTANT
The base must be plugged into the electrical outlet at all
times. Do not connect the telephone line cord into the wall
jack until the handset is fully charged. Only use the power
adapter and telephone line cord supplied with the product.
WHICH POWER ADAPTER
The power adapter with the smaller pin is for the base unit
and the power adapter with the bigger pin is for the charger
unit (for multi-pack only).
