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.
Important Installation Guidelines
• Avoid sources of noise and heat, such as motors,
uorescent lighting, microwave ovens, heating
appliances and direct sunlight.
• Avoid areas of excessive dust, moisture and low
temperature.
• Avoid other cordless telephones or personal computers.
• Never install telephone wiring during a lightning storm.
• Never install telephone jacks in wet locations unless the
jack is specically designed for wet locations.
• Never touch non-insulated telephone wires or
terminals, unless the telephone line has been
disconnected at the network interface.
• Use caution when installing or modifying telephone
lines.
