•

Due to the radio signals between base station and handset, wearers of hearing aids may

experience interference in the form of a humming noise.

•

Use only the battery type provided in the box. Do not use lithium or non-rechargeable

batteries. For more information about battery safety, see

“Batteries” in Appendix A

.

Digital Security System

Your cordless phone uses a digital security system to protect against false ringing, unauthorized

access, and charges to your phone line.

There is a unique digital security code programmed into each unit. When the base and the handset

are powered up the first time, the handset automatically links with the base ready for normal and

secure use. If you have also purchased additional accessory handsets, you will need to follow the

registration procedure in

“Registering Your Handset” in Chapter 7

. This will help maintain the

digital security.

Hearing Aid Compatibility (HAC)

This telephone system meets FCC and Industry Canada standards for Hearing Aid Compatibility.

Note:

This telephone works by sending radio signals between the base unit and the

handset. These signals may interfere with some hearing aids, causing a humming

noise.
