YSTEM
Your cordless phone uses a digital security system to protect against false
ringing, unauthorized access, and charges to your phone line.
When you place the handset in the base, the unit verifies its security code.
After a power outage or battery replacement, you should place the
handset in the base for about 20 seconds to reset the code.
IMPORTANT: Because cordless phones operate on electricity, you should
have at least one phone in your home that is not cordless, in case the power in
your home goes out.

OTE
Some cordless telephones operate at frequencies that may cause
interference to nearby TVs and VCRs. To minimize or prevent such
interference, the base of the cordless telephone should not be placed near
or on top of a TV or VCR. If such interference continues, move the cordless
telephone farther away from the TV or VCR.

EQUIREMENTS
You need an RJ11 type modular jack, which is the
most common type of phone jack and might look like
the one pictured here. If you don’t have a modular
jack, call your local phone company to find out how to
get one installed.
