1. Getting started
IMPORTANT
Do not place your IT6 in the bathroom or other humid areas.
Location
You need to place your IT6 base within 6 feet of an electrical outlet and a telephone wall
socket to provide the power to supply the device and to connect to telephone service.
Make sure it is at least 3 feet away from other electrical appliances to avoid interference.
Your IT6 works by sending radio signals between the handset and base. The strength of
the signal depends on where you place the base. Putting it as high as possible ensures the
best signal.
HANDSET RANGE
The unit has a range of up to 650 feet outdoors when there is a clear line of sight between
the base and handset. Any obstruction between the base and handset will reduce the
range signicantly. With the base indoors and the handset either indoors or outdoors, the
range will normally be up to 100 feet. Thick concrete and stone walls can severely aect
the range.
SIGNAL STRENGTH
The
icon on your handset indicates that you are within range of the base. When out
of range of the base, the
icon disappears. If you are on a call, you will hear a warning
beep.
If you are on a call, the line will hang up if the handset moves out of range of the base.
Move back within range. The handset will automatically re-connect to the base.
Setting up
IMPORTANT
Use only the power adapter and telephone line cord supplied with the product.
Connecting the base
1. Plug the telephone line cord into the socket marked on the rear of the base.
2. Plug the power adapter into the socket marked
on the rear of the base and plug the
other end into the electrical outlet.
