interference, the base of the cordless telephone should not be
placed near or on top of a TV, microwave ovens, or VCR. If such

devices may interfere with each other and/or your new telephone.
Ifyou 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 5.8 GHz frequency
for communication include wireless audio/video senders, wireless
computer networks, multi-handset cordless telephone systems, and
some long-range cordless telephone systems.
