iNTErfErENCE iNforMATioN  
This device complies with Part 15 of the FCC Rules. Operation is subject to the following two  
conditions: (1) This device may not cause harmful interference; and (ꢀ) This device must accept  
any interference received, including interference that may cause undesired operation.  
This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class B digital  
device, pursuant to Part 15 of the FCC Rules. These limits are designed to provide reasonable  
protection against harmful interference in a residential installation.  
This equipment generates, uses, and can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not installed  
and used in accordance with the instructions, may cause harmful interference to radio  
communications. However, there is no guarantee that interference will not occur in a particular  
installation.  
Privacy of Communications may not be ensured when using this product.  
If this equipment does cause harmful interference to radio or television reception, which can be  
determined by turning the equipment off and on, the user is encouraged to try to correct the  
interference by one or more of the following measures:  
• Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna (that is, the antenna for radio or television  
that is “receiving” the interference).  
• Reorient or relocate and increase the separation between the telecommunications  
equipment and receiving antenna.  
• Connect the telecommunications equipment into an outlet on a circuit different from that  
to which the receiving antenna is connected.  
If these measures do not eliminate the interference, please consult your dealer or an  
experienced radio/television technician for additional suggestions. Also, the Federal  
Communications Commission has prepared a helpful booklet, “How To Identify and Resolve  
Radio/TV Interference Problems.” This booklet is available from the U.S. Government Printing  
Office, Washington, D.C. ꢀ040ꢀ. Please specify stock number 004-000-00345-4 when ordering

iNSTALLATioN  
digital seCurity system  
Your cordless phone uses a digital security system to protect against false ringing,  
unauthorized access, and charges to your phone line.  
iNSTALLATioN NoTE: Some cordless telephones operate at frequencies  
that may cause or receive interference with 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  
ovens, or vCr. if such interference continues, move the cordless telephone  
farther away from these appliances.  
Certain other communications devices may also use the 1.9 GHz frequency  
for communication, and, if not 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 1.9 GHz frequency for communication include wireless audio/video  
senders, wireless computer networks, multi-handset cordless telephone  
systems, and some long-range cordless telephone systems.
