If you have questions about what will disable your alarm equipment, contact your telephone company or a qualified installer. Choose a central location · The location should be close to both a phone jack and a continuous power outlet (one which is not connected to a switch). · The main base and each handset should be kept away from sources of electrical noise such as motors, microwave ovens, and fluorescent lighting. · The cradle can be placed on a desk, tabletop, or mounted on a standard wall plate. For better reception, place the main base as high as possible. · The main base should be placed in an open area for optimum range and reception. www.uniden.com I N S TA L L I N G T H E P H O N E [7] B. Install the Rechargeable Battery Packs into the Handsets All handsets are powered by rechargeable battery packs.
