nformAtion
This device complies with Part 15 of the FCC Rules. Operation is subject to the following
two conditions: (1) This device may not cause harmful interference; and (2) This device
must accept any interference received, including interference that may cause undesired
operation.
This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class B
digital device, pursuant to Part 15 of the FCC Rules. These limits are designed to provide
reasonable protection against harmful interference in a residential installation.
This equipment generates, uses, and can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not
installed and used in accordance with the instructions, may cause harmful interference
to radio communications. However, there is no guarantee that interference will not occur
in a particular installation.
Privacy of Communications may not be ensured when using this product.
If this equipment does cause harmful interference to radio or television reception, which
can be determined by turning the equipment off and on, the user is encouraged to try to
correct the interference by one or more of the following measures:
• Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna (that is, the antenna for radio or television
that is “receiving” the interference).
• Reorient or relocate and increase the separation between the telecommunications
equipment and receiving antenna.
• Connect the telecommunications equipment into an outlet on a circuit different from
that to which the receiving antenna is connected.
If these measures do not eliminate the interference, please consult your dealer or an
experienced radio/television technician for additional suggestions. Also, the Federal
Communications Commission has prepared a helpful booklet, “How To Identify and
Resolve Radio/TV Interference Problems.” This booklet is available from the U.S.
Government Printing Office, Washington, D.C. 20402. Please specify stock number 004-
000-00345-4 when ordering copies.

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 2.4
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 2.4 GHz frequency for communication
include wireless audio/video senders, wireless computer
networks, multi-handset cordless telephone systems, and
some long-range cordless telephone systems.
