Operation is subjectto the following two conditions: (1) This device may not cause harmfulinterference, and (2) This device must accept any interference received,including interference that may cause undesired operation. Privacy ofcommunications may not be ensured when using this phone.To insure the safety of users, the FCC has established criteria forthe amount of radio frequency energy various products may producedepending on their intended usage. This product has been testedand found to comply with the FCC’s exposure criteria. For body wornoperation, the FCC RF exposure guidelines were also met when usedwith the Uniden accessories supplied or designed for this product. Useof other accessories may not ensure compliance with FCC RF exposureguidelines and should be avoided.The antenna(s) used for the base-unit must be installed to provide aseparation distance of at least 20 cm from all persons and must notbe collocated or operated in conjunction with any other antenna ortransmitter.
63Radio Interference Radio interference may occasionally cause buzzing andhumming in your cordless handset, or clicking noises in thebase. This interference is caused by external sources suchDV79UHIULJHUDWRUYDFXXPFOHDQHUÀXRUHVFHQWOLJKWLQJRUelectrical storm. Your unit is NOT DEFECTIVE. If these noisescontinue and are too distracting, please check around yourhome to see what appliances may be causing the problem.In addition, we recommend that the base not be plugged intoa circuit that also powers a major appliance because of thepotential for interference. Be certain that the antenna on theunit is fully extended when needed. In the unlikely event thatyou consistently hear other voices or distracting transmissionson your phone, you may be receiving radio signals fromanother cordless telephone or other source of interference.If you cannot eliminate this type of interference, you need tochange to a different channel.Finally, it should be noted that some cordless telephonesoperate at frequencies that may cause interference to nearbyTVs and VCRs. To minimize or prevent such interference, thebase of the cordless telephone should not be placed near or ontop of a TV or VCR. If interference is experienced, moving thecordless telephone farther away from the TV or VCR will oftenreduce or eliminate the interference.Cordless Telephone PrivacyCordless telephones are radio devices. Communicationsbetween the handset and base of your cordless telephoneare accomplished by means of radio waves which arebroadcast over the open airways. Because of the inherentphysical properties of radio waves, your communications canbe received by radio receiving devices other than your owncordless telephone unit.
