This cordless telephone uses a digital
security code to prevent unauthorized
access to your base unit. This security
code prevents other cordless handsets
from making calls through your base unit.
A random security code will be assigned
automatically between your base unit and
handset when you charge the battery pack
for the first time.
If you want to reset the security code,
see page 38.
