Telephone Line Problems
The FCC has granted the telephone company the right to disconnect service in
the event that your phone causes problems on the telephone line. Also, the
telephone company may make changes in facilities and services which may
affect the operation of your unit. However, your telephone company must give
adequate notice in writing prior to such actions to allow you time for making
necessary arrangements to continue uninterrupted service. 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. 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. 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.
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.
Installation Considerations
Selecting a Location
Before choosing a location for your new phone, there are some important
guidelines you should consider:
• The location should be close to both a phone jack and continuous power
outlet. (A continuous power outlet is an AC outlet which does not have a
switch to interrupt its power.)
• Keep the base and handset away from sources of electrical noise such as
motors or fluorescent lighting.
• Be sure there is sufficient space to fully extend the base antenna.
• The base can be placed on a desk or tabletop or mounted on a standard
telephone wall plate.
• You should charge your new phone for 15~20 hours before completing the
installation or using the handset.
Telephone Line Outlets
There are two types of phone outlets:
Modular Jack
Most phone equipment available now uses modular jacks. Phone cords are
fitted with a molded plastic connector which plugs into this type of jack. If you
do not have modular phone jacks, contact your local telephone company for
information about their installation.
Hardwired Jack
Some equipment is wired directly to a phone jack, and these types of
installations require a modular jack converter. This type of installation is not
difficult; however, you should contact your authorized NEC telephone
representative or a telephone supply store for advice about the proper adapter or
converter for your particular situation.
Connecting the Telephone Cords
Consider these safety guidelines before connecting the telephone cords:
Caution!
• Never install telephone wiring during a lightning storm.
• Never touch uninsulated telephone wires or terminals unless the telephone
line has been disconnected.
• Use caution when installing or modifying telephone lines.
Applying Power to the Base
This phone requires an AC outlet, without a switch to interrupt power, and the
included AC adapter. To relieve strain on the DC plug when the phone is placed
on a desk or table, wrap the power cord around the strain relief notch on the
bottom of the base.
NOTE:Place the power cord so that it does not create a trip hazard, or where it
could become chafed and create a fire or other electrical hazards.
