Installing the telephone base
Given the length of the cables, you must install the telephone base within two meters of an electrical outlet
and a telephone wall jack. The telephone base should also be placed at least one meter away from other
electrical appliances in order to avoid interference. The handset exchanges radio signals with the
telephone base. The strength of these signals depends on the position of the base. You may obtain a
stronger signal by placing the base higher.
Transmission range of the handset
The transmission range of your telephone is 300 meters outdoors
without obstructions between the
telephone base and handset. Obstructions reduce the transmission range. When the telephone base is
located indoors, no matter whether the handset is indoors or outdoors, the transmission range is reduced
to 50 meters. Thick concrete walls reduce the transmission range significantly.
Signal strength
When the handset is within the operating range of the telephone base, the icon appears on the screen.
When the handset is out of the transmission range, flashes, then SEARCH appears on the screen. In
this case, get closer to the telephone base.
Installing and charging the batteries
