About the digital security code
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 20.
