Installing the Phone
Choosing the Best Location
When choosing a location for your new phone, here are some important guidelines you should consider:
•
Find a place that is close to a standard phone jack, a computer with a USB port, and a power
outlet that is not controlled by a wall switch.
•
The base and handset should be kept away from sources of electrical noise such as motors,
microwave ovens, and fluorescent lighting.
•
Don't place the base in direct sunlight or subject it to high temperatures. The battery may not
charge properly.
•
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 a phone line, be sure that
installing the system does not disable your alarm equipment. If you have questions about what will
disable alarm equipment, contact your telephone company or a qualified installer.
