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 26.

• Avoid electrical cables, pipes, or other items behind the mounting  
location that could cause a hazard when inserting screws into the  
wall.  
• Try to mount your phone within 10 - 15 feet of a working phone  
jack to avoid excessive cord lengths.

Changing the digital security code  
The digital security code is an identification code used to connect  
the handset and the base unit. Normally, setting the code is not  
necessary.  
The first time you charge your handset, the security code is  
automatically set. (See page 3.)  
In the rare situation that you suspect another cordless telephone  
is using the same security code, you can change the code.  
If the handset battery pack  
is completely discharged  
or the battery pack  
removed, the digital  
security code is erased.  
If this happens, a new  
security code is set  
automatically the next  
time the battery pack is  
charged.
