For Best Performance3Battery ChargeA rechargeable Ni-Cd battery powers thehandset. Charge the battery for about 6hours before initial use (p. 11).Base Unit Location/NoiseCalls are transmitted between the base unit and the handset usingwireless radio waves. For maximum distance and noise-freeoperation, the recommended base unit location is:Note:While using the handset:•If you are near a microwave oven which is being used, noise may be heard fromthe receiver. Move away from the microwave oven and closer to the base unit.•If more than one cordless phone is being used and your handset is near anothercordless phone’s base unit, noise may be heard. Move away from the othercordless phone’s base unit and closer to your base unit.Away from electrical appliances such as a TV, personal computer or another cordless phone.In a HIGH and CENTRAL location with no obstructions such as walls.Raise the antennas.The battery is beneath this cover.
