Installing the Phone Choosing the Best Location Before choosing a location for your new phone, here are some important guidelines you should consider: Avoid heat sources, such as radiators, air ducts, and sunlight Avoid noise sources such as a window by a street with heavy traffic Avoid television sets and other electronic equipment Avoid microwave ovens Avoid excessive moisture, extremely low temperatures, dust, mechanical vibration, or shock Choose a central location Avoid personal computers Avoid other cordless telephones • 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. • The base can be placed on a desk, tabletop, or mounted on a standard wall plate. 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 the telephone line, be sure that installing the system does not disable your alarm equipment. If you have questions about what will disable your alarm equipment, contact your telephone company or a qualified installer.
