Technical Information
Cordless telephones use radio frequencies to allow mobility. This affects the
performance of your unit.
1.NOISE
Electrical pulse noise is present in most homes at one time or another. This is most
intense during electrical storms. Certain kinds of electrical equipment, such as light
dimmers, fluorescent bulbs, motors, fans, etc., also generate pulse noise.
Because radio frequencies are susceptible to this, you may on occasion hear pulse
noise through the handset.
This is usually only a minor annoyance
and should not be
interpreted
as a defect of the unit.
2. RANGE
Because
radio frequencies
are used, the location of the base station can affect the
operating
range of the unit. Try several
locations
and choose the one that gives the
clearest signal to the handset.
(Turning in a circle while holding the handset
may also
increase
the operating
range.)
3.1NTERFERENCE
Electronic
circuits activate
a relay to connect
the unit to your telephone
line. These
electronic
circuits operate
in the radio frequency
spectrum.
While several
protection
circuits
are
used to prevent unwanted signals, there may be periods when these
unwanted signals enter the base station. You may hear click or hear the relay activate
when you are not using the cordless handset. If this occurs frequently, you can minimize
or eliminate the problem by lowering the height of the base station or relocating the
base station. It may also be helpful to change the operating channel ancflor the security
code setting.
