talk

 key has been pressed, enabling a dial

A. Choose the best location

When choosing a location for your new phone, here are some important guidelines you should consider:

Installing the Phone

Avoid noise sources such as a window 

by a street with heavy traffic

Avoid heat sources, such as

radiators, air ducts, and sunlight

Avoid television sets and 
other electronic equipment

Choose a central location

Avoid other cordless telephones

Avoid personal computers

Avoid excessive moisture, 

extremely low temperatures, 

dust, mechanical vibration,  

or shock

Avoid microwave ovens

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 and fluorescent lighting.

The base can be placed on a desk, tabletop, or mounted on a standard wall plate. For bet-

ter reception, place the base as high as possible.

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