The Basics

Cordless phones require AC power to NOTE operate. When the power is off, you

cannot make or receive calls by using your phone. We recommend you to also have a mobile phone so you can still make and receive calls in the event of an AC power failure.

IMPORTANT

•Your phone operates on standard radio frequencies as allocated by the FCC.

•It is possible for other radio units operating nearby on similar frequencies to unintentionally intercept your conversation or cause interference. This possible lack of privacy can occur with any cordless phone.
