19Technical InformationThis cordless telephone uses radio frequencies to allow mobility. There are certain difficultiesin using radio frequencies with a cordless telephone. While these are normal, the followingcould affect the operation of your system.NoiseElectrical pulse noise is present in most homes at one time or another. This noise is mostintense during electrical storms. Certain kinds of electrical equipment such as light dimmers,fluorescent bulbs, motors, and fans also generate noise pulses. Because radio frequenciesare susceptible to these noise pulses, you may occasionally hear them in your HANDSET.Generally they are a minor annoyance and should not be interpreted as a defect in yoursystem.RangeBecause radio frequency is used, the location of the BASE UNIT can affect the operatingrange. Try several locations in your home or office and pick the one that gives you the clearestsignal to the HANDSET.InterferenceElectronic circuits activate a relay to connect the cordless telephone to your telephone line.These electronic circuits operate in the radio frequency spectrum. While several protectioncircuits are used to prevent unwanted signals, there may be periods when these unwantedsignals enter the BASE UNIT. You may hear clicks or hear the relay activate while you are notusing the HANDSET. If the interference occurs frequently, it can be minimized or eliminated byrelocating the BASE UNIT. You can check for interference before selecting the final BASEUNIT location by plugging in the telephone.NOTICE:This cordless telephone uses radio communication between the HANDSET and the BASEUNIT and may not ensure privacy of communication. Other devices, including another cordlesstelephones, may interfere with the operation of this cordless telephone or cause noise duringoperation.
