NOTE:
f~ EachHandset can be charged on the XC631 Plus Charging
Base or the xc631 Base Unit. The xc631 Plus Charging
Base is smaller than your existing XC631 Base Unit and

The XC631 Plus can not be used separately. It must be
used in conjunction with your XC631 Cordless telephone.
We have designed your telephone to conform to Australian
Communications Authority (ACA) regulations, and you can
connect it to most telephone lines. However, each device that you
connect draws power from the phone line. We refer to the power
drawn as the device's Ringer Equivalence Number or REN. The REN
.is shown on the bottom of your telephone. If you are using more
than one phone or other device on the line, add up all the REN's.If
the total is more than three, your phones might not ring.
NOTE:
f~ You must not connect your phone to any of
the following:
.Coin operated systems
.Party-linesystems
.Mostelectronickeyphonesystems

IMPORTANTNOTES
Your phone operates on standard radio frequencies. It is possible for
other radio units operating nearby on similar frequencies to uninten-
tionally intercept your conversation or cause interference. Possible
lack of privacy can occur with any cordless telephone.
