Digital Spread Spectrum Technology utilizes a “wider frequency band” vs. a “single narrow band” used in standard digital transmissions. The result is a more secure conversation with the clarity of digital sound, extended range, and minimal interference from other cordless phones.

Random Code™ digital security automatically selects one of over 65,000 codes for the handset and base.

These features enhance your phone’s security and prevent unauthorized calls as a result of your phone being activated by other equipment.

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.

Mounting the base unit on a wall

Direct wall plate mounting

If you don't have a standard wall plate, you can mount your phone directly to the wall. Before doing this, consider the following:

• Avoid electrical cables, pipes, or other items behind the mounting location, that could cause a hazard when inserting screws into the wall.

• Try to mount your phone within 10 - 15 feet of a working phone jack to avoid excessive cord lengths.

• Make sure the wall material is capable of supporting the weight of the base and handset.

• Use #10 screws (minimum length of 1-3/8 inches) with anchoring devices for the wall material where the base unit will be placed.

1 Insert two mounting screws

into the wall, (with their appropriate anchoring device), 3-15/16 inches apart. Allow about 3/16 of an inch between the wall and screwheads for mounting the phone.

2 Refer to steps 1 through 9 on

page 8 and 9 to mount the telephone.
