Automatic Digital Code Security

Many cordless telephones operate similarly and on the same frequency.
Without digital code security, another Handset could make calls using your
Base Unit and telephone line.Therefore, to avoid any unauthorized calls
through your Base Unit, a Digital Code feature was added to your XC 310.
This Digital Code is shared only between the Handset and Base Unit.The

Code is set automaticallywhen you first use the phone.To reset the Digital
Code, removethe Handset from the Base Unit and set it down again. Then
press the PAGE/FINDbutton. The Digital Code is reset randomly to one of

more than 65,000 codes.
