Frequently Asked Questions
43
1. How long should the handset battery b e
charged?
Typically leaving the handset on the base
overnight will charge the battery sufficiently.
2. How long can a battery last after a twelve
hour charge?
After a twelve hour charge, the handset has typi-
cally 8 hours of continuous talk time , or 14 days in
standby mode (when the phone is out of the
base but not in use).
3. What is the range of my cordless phone?
There is no way to easily answer this question as
many factors affect the range of a cordless
phone. In an open field, under ideal conditions, a
900 MHz cordless phone can have an effective
range of about 1200 feet.
Unfortunately, most cordless phones are used
under conditions that are anything but ideal. The
effective range of a cordless phone varies
because of environmental and other conditions.
Cordless phones and other 900 MHz devices ma y
cause interference which may limit the effective
range of your cordless phone. Changing the
channel may help.
Aluminum siding can also have a dramatic effect
on range. Try using your cordless phone in many
locations in and around your home . Each situa-
tion presents different conditions under which
the phone must work.
