Operating range
This cordless telephone operates with
the maximum power allowed by the
Federal Communications Commission
(FCC). Even so, this handset and
telephone base can communicate over
only a certain distance - which can
vary with the locations of the telephone
base and handset, the weather, and the
layout of your home or office.
When the handset is out of range, the
handset displays
Out of range or
and
no pwr at base
alternately.
If there is a call while the handset is out
of range, it may not ring, or if it does
ring, the call may not connect well when
you press
/HOME
or
/CELL
.
Move
closer to the telephone base, and then
press
/HOME
or
/CELL
to answer
the call. If the handset moves out of
range during a telephone conversation,
there may be interference. To improve
reception, move closer to the telephone
base.
