INSTALLATIONNOTE:Somecordless 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 1.9 GHz
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 usethe 1.9 GHzfrequency
for communication include wireless audio/video senders, wireless
computer networks, multi-handset cordless telephone systems, and
some long-range cordless telephone systems.
