each other.  
L For maximum coverage and noise-free  
communications, place your base unit:  
– at a convenient, high, and central  
location with no obstructions between  
the handset and base unit in an indoor  
environment.  
– away from electronic appliances such as  
TVs, radios, personal computers,  
wireless devices, or other phones.  
– facing away from radio frequency  
transmitters, such as external antennas  
of mobile phone cell stations. (Avoid  
putting the base unit on a bay window or  
near a window.)  
L Only use a compatible base unit (or  
charger) to charge the batteries. Do not  
tamper with the base unit (or charger).  
Failure to follow these instructions may  
cause the batteries to swell or explode.  
L Coverage and voice quality depends on the  
local environmental conditions.  
L If the reception for a base unit location is not  
satisfactory, move the base unit to another  
location for better reception.
