Installing the Phone
Choosing the Best Location
When choosing a location for your new phone, here are some important guidelines you should consider:
The location should be close

to both a phone jack and a
continuous power outlet (one
which is not connected to a
switch).
For optimum range and
•
reception, place the base in an
open area, as high as possible.
If your home has wired alarm
•
equipment connected to a phone
line, be sure that installing the
system does not disable your
alarm equipment. If you have
questions about what will disable
alarm equipment, contact your
telephone company or a quali

installer.
Note: For maximum range:
Keep both the base and handset antennas free of obstruction.

When the handset is not in use, place the handset in an upright position.
