HOW IT WORKS
The Wireless Home Phone Base uses Consumer Cellular
service to provide phone service to your cordless or corded
home phone(s). Place it anywhere in your house where you
have a wireless signal. It does not require the use of a home
phone wall jack like traditional home phone service.
BEFORE YOU BEGIN
Your device works exclusively with Consumer Cellular service
and does not use home phone wall jacks.
Your device should be located:
•
Where you have a strong cellular signal, typically near a
window or outside wall. Signal strength may vary in different
parts of your home
•
Near an electrical wall outlet
Select which phone you will use with the
Wireless Home Phone Base:
•
A cordless phone system with multiple handsets should be
used to place phones throughout your home
•
If using a single, corded phone, unplug it from the wall jack
