Features 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:
l Aluminum siding
l Insulation with foil backing
l 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:
l Fluorescent lights
l Appliances that generate electrical noise, including:
n Microwaves
n Televisions
n VCRs
n Baby monitors
n Computers
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.
