A. Choose the best location
When choosing a location for your new phone, here are some important guidelines
you should consider:
• 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,
microwave ovens, and fluorescent lighting.
• For better reception, place the base as high as possible.
• The base should be placed in an open area for optimum range and reception.
• If your home has specially wired alarm equipment connected to phone line, be sure that
installing the system does not disable your alarm equipment. If you have questions about
what will disable alarm equipment, contact your telephone company or a qualified
installer.
