But if advance notice isn’t practical, the telephone company will notify the customer as soon as possible.

FCC and Other Information Some cordless telephones operate at frequencies that may cause interference to nearby TVs 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 or VCR. If interference is experienced, move the cordless telephone further away from the TV or VCR. This will often reduce, or eliminate, interference. Operating near 2.4GHz electrical appliances may cause interference. Move away from the electrical appliances.
