Technical InformationThis cordless telephone uses radio frequencies to allow mobility. There are certaindifficulties in using radio frequencies with a cordless telephone. While these arenormal, the following could affect the operation of your system.NoiseElectrical pulse noise is present in most homes at one time or another. This noise ismost intense during electrical storms. Certain kinds of electrical equipment such aslight dimmers, fluorescent bulbs, motors, and fans also generate noise pulses.Because radio frequencies are susceptible to these noise pulses, you mayoccasionally hear them in your HANDSET. Generally they are a minor annoyance andshould not be interpreted as a defect in your system.RangeBecause radio frequency is used, the location of the BASE UNIT can affect the operatingrange. Try several locations in your home or office and pick the one that gives you theclearest signal to the HANDSET.InterferenceElectronic circuits activate a relay to connect the cordless telephone to your telephoneline. These electronic circuits operate in the radio frequency spectrum. While severalprotection circuits are used to prevent unwanted signals, there may be periods whenthese unwanted signals enter the BASE UNIT. You may hear clicks or hear the relayactivate while you are not using the HANDSET. If the interference occurs frequently, it canbe minimized or eliminated by relocating the BASE UNIT. You can check for interferencebefore selecting the final BASE UNIT location by plugging in the telephone.NOTICE:This cordless telephone uses radio communication between the HANDSET and theBASE UNIT and may not ensure privacy of communication. Other devices, includingother cordless telephones, may interfere with the operation of this cordless telephoneor cause noise during operation. Units not containing coded access may be accessedby other radio communication systems. Cordless telephones must not causeinterference to any licensed radio service.Technical InformationIMPORTANTWhen you hear interference, press the DEL/CHANbutton to change the operating channel.30
