Operating Range

This cordless telephone operates with the maximum power allowed by the
Federal Communications Commission (FCC). Even so, this handset and
telephone base can communicate over only a certain distance - which can
vary with the locations of the telephone base and handset, the weather, and
the layout of your home or office.
When the handset is out of range, the handset displays CONNECTING...
If there is a call while the handset is out of range, it might not ring, or if it
does ring, the call might not connect well when you press /FLASH. Move
closer to the telephone base, then press /FLASH to answer the call.
If the handset moves out of range during a telephone conversation, there
might be interference.
To improve reception, move closer to the telephone base.

Maintenance

Taking care of your telephone: Your cordless telephone contains
sophisticated electronic parts, so it must be treated with care.
Avoid rough treatment: Place the handset down gently. Save the original
packing materials to protect your telephone if you ever need to ship it.
Avoid water: Your telephone can be damaged if it gets wet. Do not use the
handset outdoors in the rain, or handle it with wet hands. Do not install the
telephone base near a sink, bathtub or shower.
Electrical storms: Electrical storms can sometimes cause power surges
harmful to electronic equipment. For your own safety, take caution when
using electrical appliances during storms.
Cleaning your telephone: Your telephone has a durable plastic casing that
should retain its luster for many years. Clean it only with a soft cloth slightly
dampened with water or a mild soap. Do not use excess water or cleaning
solvents of any kind.
Remember that electrical appliances can cause serious injury if used when
you are wet or standing in the water. If the telephone base should fall
into the water, DO NOT RETRIEVE IT UNTIL YOU UNPLUG THE POWER
CORD AND TELEPHONE LINE CORD FROM THE WALL. Then remove the
telephone by the unplugged cords.
