Operating Range
This cordless telephone operates with the maximum power allowed by the
Federal Communications Commission (FCC). Even so, this handset and
telephone base can communicate over only a certain distance, which can
vary with the locations of the telephone base and handset, the weather, and
the layout of your home or office.
• When the handset is out of range, the handset displays CONNECTING...
• If there is a call while the handset is out of range, it might not ring, or if
it does ring, the call might not connect well when you press /FLASH.
Move closer to the telephone base, then press /FLASH to answer
the call.
• If the handset moves out of range during a telephone conversation,
there might be interference.
• To improve reception, move closer to the telephone base.
Maintenance
• Taking care of your telephone–Your cordless telephone contains
sophisticated electronic parts, so it must be treated with care.
• Avoid rough treatment–Place the handset down gently. Save the original
packing materials to protect your telephone if you ever need to ship it.
• Avoid water–Your telephone can be damaged if it gets wet. Do not use
the handset outdoors in the rain, or handle it with wet hands. Do not
install the telephone base near a sink, bathtub or shower.
• Electrical storms–Electrical storms can sometimes cause power surges
harmful to electronic equipment. For your own safety, take caution when
using electrical appliances during storms.
• Cleaning your telephone–Your telephone has a durable plastic casing
that should retain its luster for many years. Clean it only with a soft cloth
slightly dampened with water or a mild soap. Do not use excess water or
cleaning solvents of any kind.
