Things You Should Know

The following list of situations is provided to inform you of things
that you may encounter when using the system.  It is intended to
help you get the best performance possible from your Wireless
Phone Jack System.

Power Outages

During an AC power failure, only the telephone plugged into the
base unit operates.

Additional Extension Units

You can add extension units to expand your system. Ask for the
compatible extension: Model Number RC920 or Digital
Satellite System Model Number D910. 
Simply install the exten-
sions by following Steps 4 and 5 on page 6. When you install more
than one extension, you can only use one extension at a time.  If
you lift the receiver on a phone connected to an extension unit
while another unit is being used, you hear a busy signal.

Two-Line Phone Operations

If two separate lines are being used in a home, only one line can
operate through the Wireless Phone Jack System.  A single base
and extension hook-up will only operate that main phone line to
which the base is connected.

Ground Fault Circuits

In some cases, ground fault interruption may interfere with the
operation of this system.  It is recommended that the Wireless
Phone Jack System not be set up or operated using ground fault
circuitry (e.g. bathrooms, outdoor use, etc.)
