BASIC OPERATION
Telephone Operation
Operating Range
This cordless telephone operates within the maximum power allowed by the Federal
Communications Commission (FCC) Even so, this handset and base can communicate over only a
certain distance — which can vary with the locations of the base and handset, the weather, and the
construction of your home or office.
If you receive a call while you are out of range, the handset might not ring or if it does ring, the call might
not connect when you press
TALK.
Move closer to the base, then press
TALK
to answer the call
If you move out of range during a phone conversation, you might hear noise or interference To improve
reception, move closer to the base
If you move out of range without pressing
OFF,
your phone will be left off the hook To hang up properly,
walk back into range, periodically pressing
OFF.
Temporary Tone Dialing

call by pressing *

banking or long distance services
