Operating Range
This cordless telephone operates within the maximum power allowed by the Federal
Communications Commission (FCC). Even so, this Handset and Base can communicate
over only a certain distance — which can vary with the locations of the Base and Handset,
the weather, and the construction of your home or office. For best performance, keep the
Base antenna fully upright.
If you receive a call while you are out of range, the Handset might not ring — or if it
does ring, the call might not connect when you press PHONE . Move closer to the Base,
then press PHONE to answer the call.
If you move out of range during a phone conversation, you might hear noise or
interference. To improve reception, move closer to the Base.
If you move out of range without pressing OFF, your phone will be left “off the hook.”
To hang up properly, walk back into range, periodically pressing OFF .
