BEFORE INSTALLATION
The Uniden XC-360AUS cordless
telephone has been approved by
AUSTEL and DOTAC for use within
Australia. You may connect this
phone to any standard AUSTEL ap-
provedconnection or extension.
Note: Your phone operates on stan-
dard radio frequencies, as allocated
by the DOC. It is possible for other
radio units operating nearby on sim-
ilar frequencies to unintentionally in-
tercept your conversation or cause in-
terference. This possible lack of pri-
vacy can occur with any cordless
phone.
If this occurs you should return your
phoneto be exchanged with one on a
different channel
