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.

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.

• Use caution when installing or modifying telephone lines.
