any interference received, including interference that may cause undesired operation.  
This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class B digital

iNSTALLATioN  
Digital Security System  
Your cordless phone uses a digital security system to protect against false ringing,  
unauthorized access, and charges to your phone line.  
iNSTALLATioN NoTE: Some cordless telephones operate at frequencies  
that may cause or receive interference with nearby Tvs, microwave  
ovens, and vCrs. To minimize or prevent such interference, the base of the  
cordless telephone should not be placed near or on top of a Tv, microwave  
ovens, or vCr. if such interference continues, move the cordless telephone  
farther away from these appliances.  
Certain other communications devices may also use the 1.9 GHz frequency  
for communication, and, if not properly set, these devices may interfere  
with each other and/or your new telephone. if you are concerned with  
interference, please refer to the owner’s manual for these devices on how  
to properly set channels to avoid interference. Typical devices that may  
use the 1.9 GHz frequency for communication include wireless audio/video  
senders, wireless computer networks, multi-handset cordless telephone  
systems, and some long-range cordless telephone systems.
