INSTALLATION NOTE: Some cordless telephones operate at frequencies that may cause
interference to nearby TVs, microwave ovens, 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, microwave oven, or
VCR. If interference continues, moving the cordless telephone farther away from the TV or VCR will
often reduce or eliminate the interference.
Certain other communications devices may also use the 2.4 GHz frequency for communication, and,
if properly set, these devices may interfere with each other and/or your new telephone. If you are
concerned with interference, please refer to the owner’s manual for these devices on how to properly
set channels to avoid interference. Typical devices that may use the 2.4 GHz frequency for
communication include wireless audio/video senders, wireless computer networks, multi-handset
cordless telephone systems, and some long-range cordless telephone systems.
Repairs to certified equipment should be made by an authorized Canadian maintenance facility designated by the
supplier. Any repairs or alterations made by the user to this equipment, or equipment malfunctions, may give the
telecommunications company cause to request the user to disconnect the equipment.
