Especially about cordless telephones
• Privacy: T he sa me f eatures that make a cordle ss p hone
conveni ent c reate some limitat ions. Te lephone calls are
transmitted between the telephone base and the handset
by radi o waves, so there is a possibility that your cordless
phone conversations could be intercepted by radio
receiving equipment within range of the cordless handset.
For thi s reason , you should not think of cordles s phone
conversations as being as private as those on corded
phones.
• Electrical power: The t elepho ne base of th is cordl ess
telephone must be connected to a working electrical outlet.
The electrical outlet should not be controlled by a wall switch.
Calls ca nnot be made from the handset if the telephone
base is unplugged or switched off, or if the electrical power
is interrupted.
