Rules. Operation is subject to the following two co nditions: (1) This device may not c ause harmful interference, and (2) This device must acc ept
any interference received, including interference that may cause undesir ed oper a tion. T hese limits ar e designed to provide reasonable
protection against harmful interference in a residential installation. Some cordless telephones oper ate at frequencies that ma y c ause
interference to nearby TV’s and VCR’s; to minimize or prevent such interference, the s y s tem base should not be placed near or on top of a TV or
VCR; and, if interference is experienced, moving the base farther away from the T V or VCR will often reduc e or eliminate the interference.
However, there is no guar antee that interference will not occur in a particular installation. If this telephone sy stem does cause harmful
interference to radio or television reception, which can be determined by turning the system off and on, the user is encouraged to try to
correct the interference by one or more of the following measures:
1. Increase the separation between the base station and r eceiv er.
2. Connect the base station into an outlet on a circuit different fr om that to which the receiver is connected.
3. Consult the dealer or an experienced radio TV technician for help.
