EQUIREMENTS
To use this phone, you need an RJ11C (CA11A) type modular
telephone jack, which might look like the one pictured here,
installed in your home. If you don’t have a modular jack, call
your local phone company to find out how to get one
installed.

ECURITY

YSTEM
Your cordless phone uses a digital security system to protect against false ringing,
unauthorized access, and charges to your phone line.
After power outage or battery replacement, you should place the handset in the base
for about 30 seconds for handset and base to re-synchronize each other.
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 ovens, or VCR. If such interference
continues, move the cordless telephone farther away from these appliances.
Certain other communications devices may also use the 5.8 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 5.8 GHz frequency for communication
include wireless audio/video senders, wireless computer networks, multi-handset
cordless telephone systems, and some long-range cordless telephone systems.
