Introduction For best performance Base unit location/noise The base unit and cordless handset(s) use radio waves to communicate with each other. For maximum distance and noise-free operation, we recommend the following: L Placing the unit away from electrical appliances such as a TV, personal computer or another cordless phone. L Placing the base unit in a HIGH and CENTRAL location with no obstructions such as walls. L Raising the antenna vertically. L If you use the cordless handset near a microwave oven which is being used, noise may be heard. Move away from the microwave oven and closer to the base unit. L If you use the cordless handset near the base unit of another cordless phone, noise may be heard. Move away from the other base unit and closer to your base unit. Environment L Keep the unit away from electrical noise generating devices such as fluorescent lamps and motors. L The unit should be kept free from excessive smoke, dust, high temperature, and vibration. L The unit should not be exposed to direct sunlight. L Do not place heavy objects on top of the unit. L When you leave the unit unused for a long period of time unplug it from the power outlet. L The unit should be kept away from heat sources such as heaters and kitchen stoves. It should not be placed in rooms where the temperature is less than 5 °C (41 °F) or greater than 40 °C (104 °F). Damp basements should also be avoided. L The maximum calling distance may be shortened when the unit is used in the following places: near obstacles such as hills, concrete walls, tunnels, subways, or near metal objects such as wire fences, etc. L Operating near appliances operating near 5.8 GHz may cause interference. Move away from these electrical appliances. Routine care L Wipe the outer surface of the unit with a soft cloth. Do not use benzine, thinner, or any abrasive powder.
