TROUBLE-SHOOTING
Causes of poor reception
• Aluminum siding.
• Foil backing on insulation.
• Heating ducts and other metal construction can shield radio signals.
• You are too close to appliances such as microwaves, stoves,
computers etc.
• Atmospheric conditions, such as storms.
• Base is installed in the basemen or lower floor of the house.
• Handset batteries are low.
• You are out of range of the base.
MAINTENANCE
The freedom that your cordless telephone can offer is fully dependent
on the performance of the rechargeable batteries in the handset. To
maximize the battery performance, follow these guidelines:
Charge it for at least 16 continuous hours.
Before initial use of your new battery, charge it for at least 16 hours
continuously. The proper initial charging is very important to maximize
the battery performance.
Battery Performance
To keep your batteries in the best condition, leave the handset off the
base for a few hours at a time. Running the batteries right down at
least once a week will help them last as long as possible.
