Place the base unit: – near a central location and on a level surface – away from television sets and other electronic equipment, a personal computer, or a microwave oven – away from noise sources, such as a window by a street with heavy traffic – away from another cordless telephone – away from heat sources, such as radiators, airducts, and sunlight – away from excessive moisture, extremely low temperatures, dust, mechanical vibration, or shock CAUTION • Should you experience intermittent loss of audio during a conversation, try moving closer to the base or move base unit away from other noise sources. • The cordless telephone operates at a frequency that may cause interference to nearby TVs and VCRs; the base unit should not be placed near or on the top of a TV or VCR; and if interference is experienced, moving the cordless telephone farther away from the TV or VCR will often reduce or eliminate the interference. WARNING To prevent fire or shock hazard, do not expose the unit to rain or moisture. To avoid electrical shock, do not open the cabinet. Refer servicing to qualified personnel only.
