Installation

Digital Security System

Your cordless phone uses a digital security system to protect against false ringing,

unauthorized access, and charges to your phone line.

INSTALLATION NOTE: Some cordless telephones operate at

frequencies that may cause or receive interference with nearby

TVs, microwave ovens, and VCRs. To minimize or prevent such

interference, the base of the cordless telephone should not be placed

near or on top of a TV, microwave ovens, or VCR. If such interference

continues, move the cordless telephone farther away from these

appliances.

Certain other communications devices may also use the 1.9 GHz

frequency for communication, and, if not properly set, these

devices may interfere with each other and/or your new telephone.

If you are concerned with interference, please refer to the owner’s

manual for these devices on how to properly set channels to avoid

interference. Typical devices that may use the 1.9 GHz frequency

for communication include wireless audio/video senders, wireless

computer networks, multi-handset cordless telephone systems, and

some long-range cordless telephone systems.

Important Installation Guidelines

• Avoid sources of noise and heat, such as motors, fluorescent lighting,

microwave ovens, heating appliances and direct sunlight.

• Avoid areas of excessive dust, moisture and low temperature.

• Avoid other cordless telephones or personal computers.

• Never install telephone wiring during a lightning storm.

• Never install telephone jacks in wet locations unless the jack is specifically

designed for wet locations.

• Never touch non-insulated telephone wires or terminals, unless the telephone

line has been disconnected at the network interface.
