[ 46] ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
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. 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.
