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 a TV,
refrigerator, vacuum cleaner, fluorescent lighting, computer
equipment, or electrical storm. Your unit is NOT DEFECTIVE. If
these noises continue and are too distracting, please check around
your office 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 another 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 office,
they must operate on different channels. Press the channel key to
select a channel that provides the clearest communication.
Privacy
Note: Cordless phones are radio devices. Communications
between the Handset and Base Unit of your cordless telephone are
accomplished by means of radio waves which are broadcasted
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.
