Technical information

This cordless telephone uses radio frequencies to allow mobility. There are certain dif- ficulties 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 the system.

Range

Because 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. 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.

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.

Optional Shaker Ring Signaling:

Your BellSouth A50 base is equipped with a jack for an optional vibrating pad to alert you when the phone is ringing. Simply plug the shaking pad into the jack on the (See page 6 - #6). When the telephone rings, the pad will vibrate with each ring of the phone.
