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

CAUTION: When using telephone equipment, there are basic safety instructions that should always be
followed. Refer to the IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS provided with this product and save them
for future reference.
Your Cordless Telephone is designed to give you flexibility in use and high quality performance. To get the most
from your new cordless telephone, we suggest that you take a few minutes right now to read through this
instruction manual.
IMPORTANT: Because cordless phones operate on electricity, you should have at least one phone in your home that is not
cordless, in case the power in your home goes out.
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 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.

NTERFERENCE NFORMATION
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.
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.
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.
• Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician for help.
