Battery Charge
A rechargeable Ni-Cd battery powers the
handset. Charge the battery for about
6 hoursbefore initial use (p. 11).
Base Unit Location/Noise
Calls are transmitted between the base unit and the handset using
wireless radio waves. For maximum distance and noise-free
operation, the recommended base unit location is:
In a HIGH and CENTRAL location
with no obstructions such as walls.
Raise the 
antenna.
≥If more than one cordless phone is being used and your handset is near another
cordless phone’s base unit, noise may be heard. Move away from the other
cordless phone’s base unit and closer to your base unit.
Away from electrical appliances
such as a TV, personal computer
or another cordless phone.
