Installation
Selecting a Location
Before choosing a location for your new phone,
there are some important guidelines you should
consider:
•
The location should be close to both a
phone jack and continuous power outlet.
Note:
A continuous power outlet is an AC
outlet which does not have a switch to
interrupt its power.
•
Keep the Base Unit and Handset away
from sources of electrical noise such as
motors or fluorescent lighting.
•
Be sure there is sufficient space to fully
extend the Base Unit antenna.
•
The Base Unit can be placed on a desk or
tabletop or mounted on a standard AT&T
or GTE wall plate.
•
If you decide to mount your phone on the
wall, make sure to change the handset
retainer so that the tab which holds the
Handset faces up. (See page 18 for more
information.)
•
You should charge your new phone for
15-20 hours before completing the
installation or using the Handset.
