Automatic Digital Code Security

Many cordless telephones operate similarly and on the same frequency.
Without digital code security, another Handset could make calls usingyour
Base Unit and telephone line.Therefore, to avoid any unauthorizedcalls
through your Base Unit, a DigitalCode feature was added to your XC 320.
This Digital Code is shared only between the Handsetand Base Unit. The
Code isset automaticallywhen you first usethe phone.

If the Base Unit losespower while the Handset is off the Base, the Digital
Code may be erased. When this happens,the Handset will notfunction. To

establish communication between the Handsetand Base Unit:

1. Restore power to the Base Unit.

2. Place the Handseton the Base Unit.The CHARGELED will blink to
indicate that the Digital Security Code isset.
