Privacy of communications, may not be ensured when using this phone.
To insure the safety of users, the FCC has established criteria for the
amount of radio frequency energy various products may produce
depending on their intended usage. This product has been tested and
found to comply with the FCC’s exposure criteria. For body worn
operation, the FCC RF exposure guidelines were also met when used
with the Uniden accessories supplied or designed for this product. Use
of other accessories may not ensure compliance with FCC RF exposure
guidelines and should be avoided.
Radio Interference
Radio interference may occasionally cause buzzing and humming in
your cordless handset, or clicking noises in the base. 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.
