Before choosing a location for your new phone, read the INSTALLATION CONSIDERATIONS included in the
PRECAUTIONS AND IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS brochure. Here are some important guidelines you
should consider:
Avoid heat sources, such as
radiators, air ducts, and sunlight
Avoid television sets and
other electronic equipment
Avoid noise sources such as a window
by a street with heavy traffic
Avoid microwave ovens
Avoid excessive moisture, extremely
low temperatures, dust, mechanical
vibration, or shock
Avoid personal computers
Avoid other cordless telephones
Choose a central location
• You should charge your handset for at least 15-20 hours before using the phone.
• The location should be close to both a phone jack and a continuous power outlet which is
not switchable.
• Keep the base and handset away from sources of electrical noise such as motors and
fluorescent lighting.
• Be sure there is sufficient space to raise the base antenna to a vertical position.
• The base can be placed on a desk, tabletop or mounted on a standard wall plate.
