• Due to the radio signals between base station and handset, wearers of hearing aids may
experience interference in the form of a humming noise.
• Use only the battery type provided in the box. Do not use lithium or non-rechargeable
batteries. For more information about battery safety, see “Batteries” in Appendix A.
Digital Security System
Your cordless phone uses a digital security system to protect against false ringing, unauthorized
access, and charges to your phone line.
There is a unique digital security code programmed into each unit. When the base and the handset
are powered up the first time, the handset automatically links with the base ready for normal and
secure use. If you have also purchased additional accessory handsets, you will need to follow the
registration procedure in “Registering Your Handset” in Chapter 7. This will help maintain the
digital security.
Hearing Aid Compatibility (HAC)
This telephone system meets FCC and Industry Canada standards for Hearing Aid Compatibility.
Note: This telephone works by sending radio signals between the base unit and the
handset. These signals may interfere with some hearing aids, causing a humming
noise.
