O P E R A T I N G
This cordless telephone operates within the maximum
power allowed by the Federal Communications
Commission (FCC). Even so, this handset and base can
communicate over only a certain distance — which can
vary with the locations of the base and handset, the
weather, and the construction of your home or office. For
best performance, keep the base antenna fully upright.
If you receive a call while you are out of range, the
handset might not ring — or if it does ring, the call might
not connect when you press P. Move closer to the
base, then press P to answer the call.

R A N G E
If you move out of range during a phone conversation,
you might hear noise or interference. To improve reception,
move closer to the base. If you do not return to the range
of the base unit, the call may be dropped.
If you move out of range without pressing P, your
phone will be left "off the hook." To hang up properly, walk
back into range, periodically pressing P.
