The base can be mounted on a wall to optimize placement and signal coverage within the specified range.

Recommendations

Place the base station centrally within the area where the largest amount of call activity occurs to maximize indoor range. Keep the base away from large metal objects and other wireless equipment to reduce interference. Charge handsets regularly to maintain battery life and ensure the phonebook backup by periodically reviewing stored contacts.
