Radio Interference

Radio interference may occasionally cause buzzing and humming in your cordless handset, or clicking noises in the base. This interference is caused by external sources such as TV, refrigerator, vacuum cleaner, fluorescent lighting, or electrical storm. Your unit is NOT DEFECTIVE. If these noises continue and are too distracting, please check around your home to see what appliances may be causing the problem. In addition, we recommend that the base not be plugged into a circuit that also pow- ers a major appliance because of the potential for interference. Be cer- tain that the antenna on the unit is fully extended when needed. In the unlikely event that you consistently hear other voices or distracting trans- missions on your phone, you may be receiving radio signals from anoth- er cordless telephone or other source of interference. If you cannot elimi- nate this type of interference, you need to change to a different channel.

Finally, it should be noted that some cordless telephones operate at fre- quencies that may cause interference to nearby TVs and VCRs. To mini- mize or prevent such interference, the base of the cordless telephone should not be placed near or on top of a TV or VCR. If interference is experienced, moving the cordless telephone farther away from the TV or VCR will often reduce or eliminate the interference.

Cordless Telephone Privacy

Cordless telephones are radio devices. Communications between the handset and base of your cordless telephone are accomplished by means of radio waves which are broadcast over the open airways. Be- cause of the inherent physical properties of radio waves, your communi- cations can be received by radio receiving devices other than your own cordless telephone unit. Consequently, any communications using your cordless telephone may not be private.
