operations or procedures where such action is required in the operation of its business. If
these changes are expected to affect the use or performance of your telephone equipment,

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 1.9GHz DECT
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 1.9GHz DECT 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.
