For best performance
Base unit location/noise
The base unit and handset use radio
waves to communicate with each other.
For maximum distance and noise-free
operation, we recommend the following:
L
Placing the unit away from electrical
appliances such as a TV, personal
computer or another cordless phone.
L
Placing the base unit in a HIGH and
CENTRAL location with no obstructions
such as walls.
L
Raising the antennas vertically.
L
If you use the handset near a microwave
oven which is being used, noise may be
heard. Move away from the microwave
oven and closer to the base unit.
L
If you use the handset near another
cordless phone’s base unit, noise may
be heard. Move away from the other
cordless phone’s base unit and closer to
your base unit.

generating devices, such as fluorescent
lamps and motors.
