ALLING THE

PHONE

Installing the Phone

Do the following steps:

A. Choose the Best Location
B. Install the Rechargeable Battery Pack into the Handset
C. Connect the Base Unit and Charge the Handset
D. Mount the Base Unit on a Wall

A. Choose the best location

Before 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).

The base and handset should be kept away from sources of electrical noise such as
motors, microwave ovens, and fluorescent lighting.

The base can be placed on a desk, tabletop, or mounted on a standard wall  plate.
For better reception, place the base as high as possible.

The base should be placed in an open area for optimum range and reception.

Avoid excessive moisture, 
extremely low temperatures, 
dust, mechanical vibration, 
or shock

Avoid heat sources, such as radiators,
air ducts, and sunlight

Avoid television sets and other
electronic equipment

Avoid noise sources such as a window 
by a street with heavy traffic

Avoid microwave ovens

Avoid personal computers

Avoid other cordless telephones

Choose a central location

If your home has
specially wired alarm
equipment connected to
the telephone line, be
sure that installing the
system does not disable
your alarm equipment.

If you have questions
about what will disable
your alarm equipment,
contact your telephone
company or a qualified
installer.
