IMPORTANT: Because cordless phones operate on electricity, you
should have at least one phone in your home that isn’t cordless in
the event of a power failure.
If these measures do not eliminate the interference, please consult your dealer or an experienced
radio/television technician for additional suggestions. Also, the Federal Communications Commission
has prepared a helpful booklet, “How To Identify and Resolve Radio/TV Interference Problems.” This
booklet is available from the U.S. Government Printing Office, Washington, D.C. 20402. Please specify
stock number 004-000-00345-4 when ordering copies.

your home. If you don’t have a modular jack, call your local
phone company to find out how to get one installed.
