A. Choose the best location
When 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 television sets and
other electronic equipment
Choose a central location
• 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 and fluorescent lighting.
• The base can be placed on a desk, tabletop, or mounted on a standard wall plate.

The handset is powered by a rechargeable battery pack. The battery recharges
automatically when the handset is placed in the base unit.
NOTE: 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.
