IMPROVING CORDLESS RECEPTION
Follow these guidelines to improve cordless sound quality:
•
Select an area to install the 35850 where it is closest to the center of your home or office.
This will improve the operating range of the unit.
•
Keep the 35850 base unit away from electrical equipment. Radio Frequency Interference
(RFI) is sometimes generated by these appliances, which can cause degradation in
cordless reception.
•
Keep the handset batteries charged as much as possible. Weak handset batteries can
limit the range of cordless operation.
MAINTENANCE
1. Your phone should be situated away from heat sources such as radiators, heaters,
stoves or any other appliance that produces heat.
2. Use a slightly damp cloth to clean the plastic cabinet. A mild soap will help to remove
grease or oil. Never use polish, solvents, abrasives or strong detergents since these can
damage the finish.
