CAUTION: The cordless telephone operates at a frequency that may cause interference to
nearby TVs and VCRs; the base phone 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.
Note: White the 2.4GHz frequency is inherently clearer, we suggest that you do not use this
phone within 20 feet of a working microwave. The microwave produces frequencies in this
range which may cause interference. This interference is normal for all 2.4GHz phones and
should not be considered at product defect.
