HARACTERISTICS
• A cordless telephone is dependent upon the availability of AC power.
Any interruption of electrical power at your location would prevent your
placing or receiving calls. Therefore, a cordless telephone should not be
installed as the only phone in your home.
• The cordless handset's range away from the base depends upon many
factors. In some areas, installing the base on the second floor will
provide greater range than the ground floor installation. Reception can
be adversely affected by such things as aluminum siding, appliances
(refrigerators, stove, etc.) insulation foil backing, heating ducts and
other metal construction which acts to shield radio signals.
Atmospheric conditions also play an important role in the performance
of your cordless telephone.
• Always keep the base antenna fully extended.
• Above all, keep within the range of the base.

EQUIREMENTS
You need an RJ11 type modular jack, which is the most
common type of phone jack and might look like the one
pictured here. If you don’t have a modular jack, call your
local phone company to find out how to get one installed.
