INSTALLATION NOTE: Some cordless telephones operate at frequencies that may cause
interference to nearby TVs, microwave ovens, 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,
microwave oven, or VCR. If interference continues, moving the cordless telephone farther away
from the TV or VCR will often reduce or eliminate the interference. Certain other
communications devices may also use the 900 MHz frequency for communication, and if not
properly set, these devices may interfere with each other and/ or your new telephone. If you are
concerned with interference, please refer to the owner’s manual for these devices on how to
properly set channels to avoid interference. Typical devices that may use the 900 MHz frequency
for communication include wireless audio/ video senders, wireless computer networks, multi-
handset cordless telephone systems, and some long-range cordless telephone systems.
