Although
it is unlikely
that the base
station will malfunction,
if it does, dis-
connect it from the telephone
line until
proper repairs are completed.
The cordless telephone
uses radio fre-
quencies
for transmission
and recep-
tion, and is subject to certain operating
conditions. The following conditions are
normal and could affect the operation of
your system.
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 these
noise pulses. Because radio frequency
transmissions
are susceptible
to these
pulses, on occasion you may hear them
in your handset. Generally
they are a
minor annoyance
and should
not be
interpreted as a defect in your system.
2.
RANGE
Because
radio frequencies
are used,
the location
of the base station
can
affect the operation
range. Try several
locations in your home or business and
pick the one that gives you the clearest
signal to the handset. Turning around
while holding the handset may help you
find the best position.
3.
INTERFERENCE
Electronic
circuits
activate
a relay to
connect the cordless telephone to your
telephone line. These electronic circuits
operate
in the radio frequency
spec-
trum. While several protection
circuits
are used to prevent unwanted signals,
there may be periods when these un-
wanted signals enter the base station.
You may hear clicks or hear the relay
activate
while you are not using the
cordless handset. If this starts occurring
frequently,
it can be minimized or elimi-
nated by lowering
the height of your
base station antenna, or relocating the
base station. Check for interference be-
fore selecting
your final base station
location by plugging it in and monitoring
it for clicks.
Two cordless
systems
should not be
operated
too close to each other be-
cause of interference.
This interference
can be reduced by lowering your base
station
antenna,
thereby
reducing
its
range.
