Introduction  
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.

you should have at least one phone in your home that isn’t  
cordless, in case the power in your home goes out.

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 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.  
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.
