Telephone base installation
Choose a central location close to a telephone jack and a power outlet not 
controlled by a wall switch. The telephone base can be placed on a flat sur-
face or mounted on a standard wall plate. For optimum range and better 
reception, place the telephone base in a high and open location.
Avoid placing the telephone base too close to:
•  Communication devices such as: personal computers, computer routers, 
television sets, VCRs, wireless routers (wireless broadband, wi-fi, or 802.11) 
or other cordless telephones.
•  Excessive heat sources.
•  Noise sources such as a window with traffic outside, motors, microwave 
ovens, refrigerators, or fluorescent lighting.
•  Excessive dust sources such as a workshop or garage.
•  Excessive moisture.
•  Extremely low temperature.
•  Mechanical vibration or shock such as on top of the washing machine or 
work bench.
