Improving Your Cordless Phone Range

A cordless handset can be carried anywhere around most homes or yards. For most people this is sufficient. There are several factors that influence the range of your cordless phone. 

1) Walls or other physical barriers, especially concrete, brick and steel-frames will reduce your cordless phone’s range and signal level that is transmitted between walls. 

2) Power lines and other local radio devices will limit the range as well as increase potential interference to your cordless phone. 

3.) Variations in terrain and weather also play a role in affecting your cordless handset signal.

To get the best range out of your phone, position your phone base at the center of the house or apartment and preferably on the second floor to maximize your range.
