If you are having trouble with your telephone service, you must first disconnect your phone to determine
if it is the cause of your problem. If you determine that it is the cause, you must leave it disconnected
until the trouble has been corrected.
Radio Interference
Radio interference may occasionally cause buzzing and humming in your cordless Handset, or clicking
noises in the Base Unit. This interference is caused by external sources such as TV, refrigerator,
vacuum cleaner, fluorescent lighting, or electrical storm. Your unit is NOT DEFECTIVE. If these noises
continue and are too distracting, please check around your home to see what appliances may be
causing the problem. In addition, we recommend that the Base not be plugged into a circuit that also
powers a major appliance because of the potential for interference. Be certain that the antenna on the
unit is fully extended when needed.
In the unlikely event that you consistently hear other voices or distracting transmissions on your phone,
you may be receiving radio signals from another cordless telephone or other source of interference. If
you cannot eliminate this type of interference, you need to change to a different channel.
Finally, it should be noted that some cordless telephones operate at frequencies that may cause
interference to nearby TVs 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 or VCR. If interference is experienced,
moving the cordless telephone farther away from the TV or VCR will often reduce or eliminate the
interference.
More Than One Cordless Telephone
If you want to use more than one cordless telephone in your home, they must operate on different
channels. Press the channel key to select a channel that provides the clearest communication.
Cordless Telephone Privacy
Cordless telephones are radio devices. Communications between the handset and base of your cordless
telephone are accomplished by means of radio waves which are broadcast over the open airways.
Because of the inherent physical properties of radio waves, your communications can be received by
radio receiving devices other than your own cordless telephone unit. Consequently, any communications
using your cordless telephone may not be private.
