Technical Information

This cordless telephone uses radio frequencies to allow mobility. There are certain difficulties in

using radio frequencies with a cordless telephone. While these are normal, the following could

affect the operation of your system.

Noise

Electrical pulse noise is present in most homes at one time or another. This noise is most intense

during electrical storms. Certain kinds of electrical equipment such as light dimmers, fluorescent

bulbs, motors, and fans also generate noise pulses. Because radio frequencies are susceptible

to these noise pulses, you may occasionally hear them in your Handset. Generally they are a

minor annoyance and should not be interpreted as a defect in your system.

Range

Because radio frequency is used, the location of the Base Unit can affect the operating range.

Try several locations in your home or office and pick the one that gives you the clearest signal

to the Handset.

Interference

Electronic circuits activate a relay to connect the cordless telephone to your telephone line. These

electronic circuits operate in the radio frequency spectrum. While several protection circuits are

used to prevent unwanted signals, there may be periods when these unwanted signals enter the

Base Unit. You may hear clicks or hear the relay activate while you are not using the Handset. If the

interference occurs frequently, it can be minimized or eliminated by relocating the Base Unit. You

can check for interference before selecting the final Base Unit location by plugging in the telephone.

NOTICE:

This cordless telephone uses radio communication between the Handset and the Base Unit and

may not ensure privacy of communication. Other devices, including other cordless telephones, may

interfere with the operation of this cordless telephone or cause noise during operation. Units not

containing coded access may be accessed by other radio communication systems. Cordless

telephones must not cause interference to any licensed radio service.
