Automatic DigitalCode 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 340. This Digital code is shared only between your Handset and Base Unit. The Code is set automatically when you first use the phone.
To reset the Digital Code, be sure the Handset is on the Base Unit. Press INT'COM on the Base Unit. The Base Unit and Handset will begin beeping. Remove the Handset from the Base Unit and set it down again. The Base Unit and Handset will stop beeping. The Digital Code is now reset randomly
to one of more than 65.000 codes.
If the Base Unit loses power while the Handset is off the Base, the Digital Code may be erased. When this happens, the Handset will not function. To establish communication between the Handset and Base Unit:
1. Remove the Handset from the Base Unit (if it is on the Base Unit).
2. Restore power to the Base Unit.
3. Place the Handset back on the Base Unit. The CHARGE LED will blink to indicate that the Digital Security Code is set.
