Handset Range
The range between the
base and handset will vary
greatly depending on the
location of the base. When
there is no clear line of
sight between the base
and handset the range will
be reduced.
Location
You need to place the base within 6 feet of the AC
power outlet, telephone jack, and ethernet port.
Make sure it is at least 3 feet away from other
electrical and metal appliances to avoid interference
issues.
Your phone works by sending radio signals between
the handset and base. The strength of the signal
depends on where you locate the base. Putting it as
high as possible and separated as much as possible
from other radio devices and metal objects ensures
the best signal.
Range Indicator
The symbol on your
handset screen indicates
when you are in range.
When you are out of range,
it flashes.
