What kind of phone do I need to work with the Wireless Home 

Phone Base?

Most standard touch-tone phones may be used. Rotary phones are 

not supported. Cordless phone systems provide the most flexibility 

and allow you to easily place additional handsets throughout your 

home. Cordless phone systems still need to be plugged into a 

power outlet. 
During a power outage, a standard corded phone which doesn’t 

require electrical power is recommended.

How do I install my Wireless Home Phone Base?

Please see your Quick Start for the most common installation 

methods. Other helpful information:
•   Installation near a window or outside wall is strongly recommended 

to ensure the strongest possible wireless signal in order to 

maximize voice quality.

•   If the Wireless Home Phone Base signal strength indicator 

does not display high signal strength (Green) or voice quality is 

unacceptable, you may need to relocate the device to another 

part of the home with a stronger wireless signal.

Will my Wireless Home Phone Base work in areas with no or low 

wireless signal strength?

A strong wireless signal (Green) is recommended for optimal 

performance. A moderate signal (Yellow) may be sufficient.  

If you do not see a green light, you may want to choose an  

alternate location. 

Does the Wireless Home Phone Base support data or  

text messaging?

No, only voice services are supported.
