CAUTION: Always disconnect phone cords from the wall outlets before
battery installation or replacement.
INSTALLATION NOTE: Some cordless telephones operate at frequencies
that may cause interference to 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 oven, or VCR. If
interference continues, moving the cordless telephone farther away from the
TV or VCR will often reduce or eliminate the interference. Certain other
communications devices may also use the 900 MHz frequency for
communication, and, if 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 900 MHz
frequency for communication include wireless audio/video senders, wireless
computer networks, multi-handset cordless telephone systems, and some long-
range cordless telephone systems.
