Especially about cordless telephones
• Privacy: The same features that make a cordless phone
convenient create some limitations. Telephone calls are
transmitted between the telephone base and the handset
by radio waves, so there is a possibility that your cordless
phone conversations could be intercepted by radio
receiving equipment within range of the cordless handset.
For this reason, you should not think of cordless phone
conversations as being as private as those on corded
phones.
• Electrical power: The telephone base of this cordless
telephone must be connected to a working electrical outlet.
The electrical outlet should not be controlled by a wall switch.
Calls cannot be made from the handset if the telephone
base is unplugged or switched off, or if the electrical power
is interrupted.
