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
The Android Home Phone has a range of up to 300 meters
for telephone calls, when there is clear line of sight between
the base and handset. Any obstruction between the base
and handset will reduce the range significantly. With the
base indoors and handset either indoors or outdoors, the
range will normally be up to 50 meters. Thick stone walls can
severely affect the range.
Signal Strength
The
icon on your handset indicates when you are in
range of telephone calls.
When out of range of the base, the signal strength will drop
out. If you are on a call, the line will hang up. Move back
within range. The handset will automatically re-connect to
the base.
