dard radio frequencies, as allocated
by the DOC. It is possible for other
radio units operating nearby on sim-
ilar frequencies to unintentionally in-
tercept your conversation or cause in-
terference. This possible lack of pri-
vacy can occur with any cordless
phone.

If this occurs you should return your
phoneto be exchanged with one on a

different channel

hook signal for use with special
phoneservices such as call waiting.
