Especially About Cordless Telephones
Privacy: The same features that make a cordless phone convenient
create some limitations. Telephone calls are transmitted between the
base and the handset by radio waves, so there is a possibility that your
cordless phone conversations could be intercepted by radio receiv-
ing equipment within range of the cordless handset. For this reason,
you should not think of cordless phone conversations as being
as private as those on corded phones.
Electrical Power: The base unit of this cordless telephone must be
connected to a working electrical outlet. The electrical outlet should
not be controlled by a wall switch. Calls cannot be made from the
handset if the base unit is unplugged or switched off, or if the
electrical power is interrupted.
Potential TV Interference: Some cordless telephones operate at
frequencies that may cause interference to TVs and VCRs. To minimize
or prevent such interference, do not place the base unit of the cord-

rienced, moving the cordless telephone farther away from the TV or
VCR will often reduce or eliminate the interference.
Rechargeable Batteries: This product contains either Nickel-
