Traits of Cordless Telephones
A. Cordless telephones offer convenience and mobility during
telephone conversations. The use of cordless phones is
dependent upon the availability of AC power. Any disruption of
electrical power at your location will prevent the placing or
receiving of telephone calls. It is recommended that a cordless
telephone should not be installed as the only phone at
your location.
B. The usable range of the cordless handset away from the base is
dependent upon many factors. The telephone base is like a radio
transmitter in that it transmits telephone line signals via radio waves
to the handset. Therefore, the location of the base is important
in order to maximize the usable range. For example, installing
the base on the second floor, in some locations, will provide longer
range than a ground floor installation. Pick a location that gives
you the clearest signal. The following can adversely affect usable
range:
* Aluminum siding
* Insulation with foil backing
* Any metal construction which could shield radio signals
Atmospheric conditions also play an important role in the performance of your cordless telephone.
Interference can be caused by placing the base near:
* Fluorescent lights
* Appliances that generate electrical noise, including:
* Microwaves
* Televisions
* VCRs
* Baby monitors
* Computers
10
C. For maximum performance, always keep the battery pack fully
charged.
D. Plug your AC adaptor directly into an outlet, not an extension
cord.
E. Do not plug other appliances into the outlet or have the outlet
controlled by a wall switch.
F. If you want to use more than one cordless telephone in your home,
the telephones must operate on different channels. Press the
channel key to select a channel that provides the clearest
communication.
