heating appliances and direct sunlight.
• Avoid areas of excessive dust, moisture and low temperature.
• Avoid other cordless telephones.
• Never install telephone wiring during a lightning storm.
Digital Security System
Your cordless phone uses a digital security system to protect against false ringing,
unauthorized access, and charges to your phone line.
INSTALLATION NOTE: This product operates at a frequency of 1.9GHz.
to provide communication with minimal interference from other
electronic devices. To further minimize the possibility of interference,
the base of the cordless telephone should not be placed near or on top
of a TV, microwave oven, or VCR. If interference continues, move the
cordless telephone further away from these appliances.
Telephone Jack Requirements
To use this phone, you need an RJ11C type modular telephone jack, which might
look like the one pictured here, installed in your home. If you don't have a modular
jack, call your local phone company to find out how to get one installed.
Location
You need to place the base within 6 feet of the AC power outlet, telephone jack, and
ethernet port. Make sure it is at least 3 feet away from other electrical and metal
appliances to avoid interference issues.
WARNING: Do not place your phone in the bathroom or other humid
areas.
Your phone works by sending radio signals between the handset and base. The strength
of the signal depends on where you locate the base. Putting it as high as possible and
separated as much as possible from other radio devices and metal objects ensures the
best signal.
Handset Range
The range between the base and handset will vary greatly depending on the location of the
base. When there is no clear line of sight between the base and handset the range will be
reduced.
Range Indicator
The symbol on your handset screen indicates when you are in range. When you are out
of range, it flashes.
Your unit is provided with three power adaptors; 2 for handset charger cradles and 1 base
power. The connectors are different sizes, only the larger power adaptor is for the base unit.
CAUTION: To reduce risk of personal injury, fire, or damage use only
the 5-2792 power adaptor listed in the user's guide. These power
adaptors are intended to be correctly orientated in a vertical or
floor mount position.

and are separate from the handsets.
2. Locate the battery compartment on the back of
the handsets.

4. Close the battery compartment by pushing the
door up until it snaps into place.

cradle, even when the batteries are fully charged.
