telephone

line jack

Wall

plate

Your cordless

phone

uses

a digital security system to protect against false

ringing, unauthorized access,

and

charges

to your

line.

INSTALLATION NOTE:

Some cordless

telephones

operate

at

frequencies

that may

cause or receive interference

with

nearby

TVs,

microwave ovens, and

minimize or

prevent such interference,

the

base of

the

cordless telephone

should not be placed near or on top of a TV,

microwave

oven, 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 sender

wireless computer networks, multi-handset cordless

telephone

systems,

and some long-range cordless telephone

syst

ems.
