Setting up the Phone
Choose the best location
When choosing a location for your new phone, here are some important guidelines
you should consider:
• The location should be close to both a phone jack and a continuous power outlet (one
which is not connected to a switch).
• The base and handset should be kept away from sources of electrical noise such as motors,
Microwave ovens, and fluorescent lighting.
• For better reception, place the base as high as possible.
• The base should be placed in an open area for optimum range and reception.
• If your home has specially wired alarm equipment connected to phone line, be sure that
installing the system does not disable your alarm equipment.
• If you have questions about what will disable alarm equipment, contact your telephone
company or a qualified installer.
• The base should be placed in an open area for optimum range and reception.
For maximum range:
•Do not hold the
handset where you
would block the signal.
•Metal and reinforced
concrete may affect
cordless telephone
performance.

Dial Mode
Your phone can communicate with the telephone network in two different ways: tone
dialing and pulse dialing. These days, most phone networks use a method called tone
dialing, so your phone comes programmed for tone dialing.

your phone's dial mode. There's an easy way to tell: try making a
call. If your call connects, your phone's setting is fine. If not, go
