CAUTION: When using telephone equipment,
there are basic safety instructions that should
always be followed. Refer to the IMPORTANT
SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS provided with this
product and save them for future reference.
IMPORTANT: Because cordless phones operate
on electricity, you should have at least one
phone in your home that isn’t cordless, in case
the power in your home goes out.
Before You Begin
Parts Checklist (for 28225xx2 Model)
Make sure your package includes the items shown here.
Telephone Jack Requirements
To use this phone, you need an RJ11C

Installation
Digital Security System
Your cordless phone uses a digital security system to protect
against false ringing, unauthorized access, and charges to
your phone line.
INSTALLATION NOTE: Some cordless
telephones operate at frequencies that may
cause or receive interference with nearby
TVs, microwave ovens, and VCRs. To minimize
or prevent such interference, the base of
the cordless telephone should not be placed
near or on top of a TV, microwave ovens, or
VCR. If such interference continues, move the
cordless telephone farther away from these
appliances.
Certain other communications devices may
also use the 1.9GHz DECT frequency for
communication, and, if not properly set, these
devices may interfere with each other and/or
your new telephone. If you are concerned
with interference, please refer to the owner’s
manual for these devices on how to properly
set channels to avoid interference. Typical
devices that may use the 1.9GHz DECT
frequency for communication include wireless
audio/video senders, wireless computer
networks, multi-handset cordless telephone
systems, and some long-range cordless
telephone systems.
