Important Electrical Considerations Unplug all electrical appliances when you know an electrical storm is approaching. Lightning can pass through your household wiring and damage any device connected to it. This phone is no exception. Warning: Please do not attempt to unplug any appliance during an electrical storm.
Radio Interference Radio interference may occasionally cause buzzing and humming in your cordless Handset, or clicking noises in the Base Unit. This interference is caused by external sources such as TV, refrigerator, vacuum cleaner, fluorescent lighting, or electrical storm. Your unit is NOT DEFECTIVE. If these noises continue and are too distracting, please check around your home to see what appliances may be causing the problem.
Installation Selecting a Location Before choosing a location for your new phone, there are some important guidelines you should consider: • The location should be close to both a phone jack and continuous power outlet. Note: A continuous power outlet is an AC outlet which does not have a switch to interrupt its power. • Keep the Base Unit and Handset away from sources of electrical noise such as motors or fluorescent lighting. • Be sure there is sufficient space to fully extend the Base Unit antenna.
Telephone Line Outlets There are two types of phone outlets: Modular Jack Most phone equipment available now uses modular jacks. Phone cords are fitted with a molded plastic connector which plugs into this type of jack. If you do not have modular phone jacks, contact your local telephone company for information about their installation. Hard-wired Jack Some equipment is wired directly to a phone jack, and these types of installations require a modular jack converter.
Applying Power to the Base Unit All the XC600/700 SERIES phones require an AC outlet, without a switch to interrupt power, and the included AC adapter. To relieve strain on the DC plug when the phone is placed on a desk or table, connect the adapter as shown below.

Automatic Digital Code Security To avoid unauthorized calls on your phone, a Digital Code was added to all XC600/700 SERIES phones. This Digital Code is shared only between the Handset and Base Unit. The Code is set automatically when you first use the phone. To change the Digital Code, be sure the Handset is on the Base, then: 1.
