30This cordless telephone uses radio frequencies to allow mobility. There are certain difficulties inusing radio frequencies with a cordless telephone. While these are normal, the following couldaffect the operation of your system.NoiseElectrical pulse noise is present in most homes at one time or another. This noise is most intenseduring electrical storms. Certain kinds of electrical equipment such as light dimmers, fluorescentbulbs, motors, and fans also generate noise pulses. Because radio frequencies are susceptible tothese noise pulses, you may occasionally hear them in your HANDSET. Generally they are aminor annoyance and should not be interpreted as a defect in your system.RangeBecause radio frequency is used, the location of the BASE UNIT can affect the operating range.Try several locations in your home or office and pick the one that gives you the clearest signal tothe HANDSET.InterferenceElectronic circuits activate a relay to connect the cordless telephone to your telephone line.These electronic circuits operate in the radio frequency spectrum. While several protectioncircuits are used to prevent unwanted signals, there may be periods when these unwanted signalsenter the BASE UNIT. You may hear clicks or hear the relay activate while you are not using theHANDSET. If the interference occurs frequently, it can be minimized or eliminated by loweringthe height of your BASE UNIT ANTENNA or by relocating the BASE UNIT. You can check forinterference before selecting the final BASE UNIT location by plugging in the phone.NOTICE:This cordless telephone uses radio communication between the HANDSET and the BASE UNITand may not ensure privacy of communication. Other devices, including another cordlesstelephone, may interfere with the operation of this cordless telephone or cause noise duringoperation. Units not containing coded access may be accessed by other radio communicationsystems. Cordless telephones must not cause interference to any licensed radio service.Technical Information
