service may be required. Where prior notice is not practicable and the circumstances warrant
such action, the telephone company may temporarily discontinue service immediately.
The telephone company may make changes in its communications facilities, equipment,
operations or procedures where such action is required in the operation of its business. If these
changes are expected to affect the use or performance of your telephone equipment, the
telephone company will likely give you adequate notice to allow you to maintain uninterrupted
service.
Notice must be given to the telephone company upon termination of your telephone from your
line.

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.
