IGITAL ECURITY YSTEM
Your cordless phone uses a digital security system to provide protection against false
ringing, unauthorized access, and charges to your phone line.
When you place the handset in the base, the unit verifies its security code. After a
power outage or battery replacement, you should place the handset in the base for
about 20 seconds to reset the code.
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
I I interference.

communication, and, if properly set, these devices may interfere with each other and/
