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 phone.
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 also
prevent unauthorized calls as a result of your phone being
activated by other equipment.

GETTING STARTED
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 49.
Make sure you have received the following items in the package.
