Installing the Phone
Choosing the Best Location
Before choosing a location for your new phone, here are some important guidelines you should consider:
• The location should be close to both a phone jack and a continuous power outlet (one which is not connected to a
switch).
• The base and handset should be kept away from sources of electrical noise such as motors, microwave ovens,
and fluorescent lighting.
• The base can be placed on a desk, tabletop, or mounted on a standard wall plate. For better reception, place the
base as high as possible.
• The base should be placed in an open area for optimum range and reception.
• If your home has specially wired alarm equipment connected to the telephone line, be sure that installing
the system does not disable your alarm equipment. If you have questions about what will disable your alarm
equipment, contact your telephone company or a qualified installer.
