how to connect the base station to your system
The T7406 cordless telephone operates on the same principle as a two-way radio. Therefore, the
location of the base station affects the range of reception. The base station should not be installed
where radio waves are blocked or reflected, such as next to a filing cabinet.
For optimal performance, install the base station at least 2.4 meters (eight feet) above the floor and
at least 3.2 meters (ten and one half feet) apart from a second base station. Always position the
antenna at a 90° angle to the base station.
