v1.0, November 2006
Cordless Internet Phone with Skype Model SPH200D User Manual
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.
