[ 41 ]ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
ADDITIONAL
INFORMATION
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.
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 home, they must operate on
different channels. Press the channel key to select
a channel that provides the clearest
communication.
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 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.
