approaching. Lightning can pass through your household wiring and damage
any device connected to it. This phone is no exception.
Iarningi
Please do not atte-pt to unplug any appliance during an electrical store.
Caution: Changes or modifications to this product not expressly approved
by XXX Corporation, or operation of this product in any way other than
as detailed by this Operating Guide, could void your authority to operate

Range
Your new phone is designed to achieve the maxi-um possible range by
transmitting and receiving according to the highest specifications set
forth by the FCC. We have rated this phone to operate at a maximum distance
with the qualification that the range depends upon the environment in which
the telephone is used. Iauy factors Iinit range, and it would be impossible
to include all the variables in our rating. The Iaximum Range rating of
this phone is leant to be used as a means of comparison against other range
claims.
manualdoc 5 '
Telephone Line Probleas
The FCC has granted the telephone company the right to disconnect service
in the event that your phone causes problems on the telephone line. Also,
the telephone company may make changes in facilities and services which
may affect the operation of your unit. However, your telephone company
must give adequate notice in writing prior to such actions to allow you
time for making necessary arrangements to continue uninterrupted service.
If you are having trouble with your telephone service, you must first
disconnect your phone to determine if it is the cause of your problem.
If you determine that it is the cause, you must leave it disconnected until
the trouble has been corrected.
Radio Interference
Radio interference may occasionally cause buzzing and humming in your
cordless Handset, or clicking noises in the Base Unit. This interference
is caused by external sources such as TV. refrigerator, vacuum cleaner,
fluorescent lighting, or electrical storm. Your unit is NOT DEFECTIVE.
If these noises continue and are too distracting, please check around your
hope to see what appliances may be causing the problem. In addition. we
recommend that the Base Unit not be plugged into a circuit that also powers
a major appliance because of the potential for interference. Be certain
that the antenna on the unit is fully extended when needed.
In- the unlikely event that you consistently hear other voices or
distracting transmissions on your phone, you may be receiving radio
signals from another cordless telephone or other source of interference.
Finally, it should be noted that some cordless telephones operate at
frequencies that lay'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 interference is experienced.
moving the cordless telephone farther away from the TV or VCR vi II often
reduce or eliminate the interference.
More Than One Cordless Telephone
Do not operate tmo cordless phones too close to each other because of the
interference. This interference can be reduced by lowering your base unit
antenna (reducing its range).
Privacy
Note: Cordless telephones are radio devices. Communications between the
handset and the base of your cordless telephone are acconpl ished by means
manumidoc 6
of radio waves which are broadcast over the open airways. Because of the
inherent physical properties of radio waves, your comunicatlons can he
received by radio receiving devices other than your own cordless telephone
unit. Consequently, any con-unications usina your cordless telephone lay
not be prlvate.
