Especially about cordless telephones
•
Privacy: The same features that make a cordless phone con-
venient create some limitations. Telephone calls are transmit-
ted between the telephone base and the handset by radio
waves, so there is a possibility that your cordless phone con-
versations could be intercepted by radio receiving equipment
within range of the cordless handset.
For this reason, you
should not think of cordless phone conversations as being
as private as those on corded phones.
• Electrical power: The telephone base of this cordless tel-
ephone must be connected to a working electrical outlet. The
electrical outlet should not be controlled by a wall switch.
Calls cannot be made from the handset if the telephone
base is unplugged or switched off, or if the electrical power
is interrupted.
