the telecommunications company cause to request the user to disconnect

may be particularly important in rural areas.

electrician, as appropriate.

BEFORE YOU BEGIN
MODULAR JACK REQUIREMENTS
You need an CA11 (RJ11) type modular jack, which is the
most common type of phone jack and might look like the
one pictured here. If you don’t have a modular jack, call
your local phone company to find out how to get one
installed.
INSTALLATION NOTE: Some cordless telephones operate at frequencies
that may cause interference to nearby TVs 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 or VCR. If interference continues, moving the cordless
telephone farther away from the TV or VCR will often reduce or eliminate the
interference.
