Important Installation Information

Safety Precautions

• Never install telephone wiring during a lightning storm.

• Never install telephone jacks in wet locations unless the jack is speciﬁcally designed for wet locations.

• Never touch non-insulated telephone wires or terminals, unless the telephone line is disconnected from the network.

• Use caution when installing or modifying telephone lines.

• Temporarily disconnect any equipment connected to the phone such as faxes, other phones, or modems.

Installation Guidelines

• Install the base unit near a telephone (modular) jack and an electrical outlet.

• Avoid sources of noise, such as a window by a busy street, and electrical noise, such as motors, microwave ovens, and ﬂuorescent lighting.

• Avoid heat sources, such as heating air ducts, heating appliances, radiators, and direct sunlight.

• Avoid areas of excessive moisture or extremely low temperature.

• Avoid dusty locations.

• Avoid other cordless telephones or personal computers.

CAUTION: Always disconnect all phone cords from the Base Unit before battery installation or replacement.

INSTALLATION NOTE: Some cordless telephones operate at frequencies that may cause or receive interference with TVs, microwave ovens, and VCRs. To minimize

or prevent such interference, the base of the cordless telephone should not be placed near or on top of a TV, microwave ovens, or VCR. If such interference

continues, move the cordless telephone farther away from appliances. Certain other communications devices may also use the 900 MHz frequency for

communication, and, if not properly set, these devices may interfere with each other and/or your new telephone. If you are concerned with interference, please

refer to the owner’s manual for these devices on how to properly set channels to avoid interference. Typical devices that may use the 900 MHz frequency for

communication include wireless audio/video senders, wireless computer networks, multi-handset cordless telephone systems, and some long-range cordless

telephone systems.

INSTALLATION NOTE: If the 25450 Phone System shares a phone line with another type of phone system, the Auto Attendant and Voice Mail features may be

interrupted. You may want to turn off Auto Attendant and Voice Mail for that line.
