This cordless telephone operates at the
maximum power allowed by the Federal
Communications Commission (FCC).
Even so, the handset and base can com-
municate over only a certain distance —
which can vary with the locations of the
base and handset, the weather, and the
construction of your home or office.
When you make a call, if the handset is at
to a point where the base and handset can
not communicate, the handset will sound
two short beeps, indicating that you are out
of range. Move closer to the base to re-
store normal operation.
If you receive a call while you are out of
range, the handset might not ring — or if
it does ring, the call might not connect
when you press
P. Move closer to the
base, then press
P to answer the call.
If you move out of range during a phone
conversation, you will hear noise or inter-
ference. To improve reception, move closer
to the base.
If you move out of range while on a call,
the phone will be left “off the hook.” To
hang up properly, walk back into range,
periodically pressing
P until the
PHONE light goes off.
Changing Channels
This cordless telephone has an advanced
25-channel AutoSelect
®
feature that mini-
mizes the chance of interference. Every
time you answer or make a call, the
AutoSelect feature searches for and selects
a clear channel.
In the unlikely event that you notice noise
or interference while using the handset:
1
Press
C.
2
If the interference does not clear,
continue to press
C until
you find a clear channel (your call
will not be interrupted
— OR—
Move closer to the base and press
C.
NOTE: You must be in range to change
channels.
