as the base unit can sometimes cause interference.
Try moving the appliance or the base unit to another
outlet.

WHEN YOU'RE AWAY FROM THE BASE UNIT.
* You may be out of range. Either move closer to
the base, or relocate the base unit.

range. Try moving the base unit to the second or
third floor, or to some other location.
4. Connect power to the base.
5. Connect the handset battery.
