EQUIREMENTS
To use this phone, you need an RJ11C type
modular telephone jack, which might look
like the one pictured here, installed in
your home. If you don’t have a modular
jack, call your local phone company to
find out how to get one installed.
INSTALLATION NOTE: Some cordless telephones operate at
frequencies that may cause or receive interference with nearby
TVs, microwave ovens, 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, microwave ovens, or VCR. If such
interference continues, move the cordless telephone farther
away from these appliances.

Your cordless phone uses a digital security system to provide
protection 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.
