Technical Information

This cordless telephone uses radio frequencies to allow mobility. There are certain difficulties in using radio frequencies with a cordless telephone. While these are normal, the following could alter operation of your system.

Noise

Electrical pulse noise is present in most homes at one time or another. This noise in 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 your system.

Range

Because radio frequency is used, location of the BASE UNIT can affect 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 UNIT. You may hear clicks or hear the relay activate while your are not using the HANDSET. If interference occurs frequently, it can be mini- mized or eliminated by lowering the height of your BASE UNIT ANTENNA or by relocating the BASE UNIT. You can check for interference before selecting the final BASE UNIT loca- tion by plugging in the phone.

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 interference 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.

IMPORTANT

When you hear interference, press the DEL /DEL button to charge the operating channel.
