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
dial mode is useful
if you need to send
touch tone signals
for access to
telephone banking
or long distance
services.
• For clearer
reception while on
a call, press the
CHAN
button until
any interference is
eliminated
.
