Before you begin If you move out of range during a phone conversation, you might hear noise or interference. To improve reception, move closer to the base.

This cordless telephone operates with the maximum power allowed by the Federal Communications Commission (FCC). Even so, this handset and EP5962 base can communicate over only a certain distance — which can vary with the locations of the base and handset, the weather, and the construction of your home or office.

If you move out of range without pressing OFF, your phone will be left

“off the hook.” To hang up properly, walk back toward the telephone base, periodically pressing OFF until the call is disconnected.

If you receive a call while you are out of range, the handset might not ring

— or if it does ring, the call might not connect when you press LINE 1 or LINE 2. Move closer to the base, then press LINE 1 or LINE 2 to answer the call.
