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, uorescent 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. 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.
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.
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.
