About the digital security code
This cordless telephone uses a digital security code to prevent unauthorized access
to your base unit. This security code prevents other cordless handsets from making
calls through your base unit.
A random security code will be assigned automatically between your base unit and
handset when you charge the battery pack for the first time.
If you want to reset the security code, see page 38.
