Note
This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class B
digital device, pursuant to Part 15 of the FCC Rules. These limits are designed to
provide reasonable protection against harmful interference in a residential
installation. This equipment generates, uses and can radiate radio frequency
energy and, if not installed and used in accordance with the instructions, may
cause harmful interference to radio communications. However, there is no
guarantee that interference will not occur in a particular installation. If this
equipment does cause harmful interference to radio or television reception,
which can be determined by turning the equipment off and on, the user is
encouraged to try to correct the interference by one or more of the following
measures:
– Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.

– Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit different from that to
which the receiver is connected.
– Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician for help.

Setting up the phone

Choose the best location
Where you place the base unit affects the reception quality of the handset.
Place the base unit:
– near a central location and on a level surface
– away from television sets and other electronic equipment, a personal
computer, or a microwave oven
– away from noise sources such as a window by a street with heavy traffic
– away from another cordless telephone
– away from heat sources, such as radiators, airducts, and sunlight
– away from excessive moisture, extremely low temperatures, dust, mechanical
vibration, or shock
CAUTION
The cordless telephone operates at a frequency that may cause interference to
nearby TVs and VCRs; the base unit should not be placed near or on the top of a
TV or VCR; and, if interference is experienced, moving the cordless telephone
farther away from the TV or VCR will often reduce or eliminate the interference.
Connect the base unit
If you want to hang the base unit on the wall, see "Mounting the base unit on a
wall".
