Telephone Operations
Channel Operation
The Clarity 420 cordless telephone auto-
matically searches and selects the clearest
of 40 channels when it is being used. If inter-
ference develops on the line, pressing this
button will move to another channel.
Security Code
The security code prevents your cordless
phone conversations from being accessed
by a phone on a different line. Once the
handset battery is fully charged, the handset
will automatically select the code from
over 65,000 different combinations. The
code is changed every time the handset is
placed in the cradle.
If you have trouble with placing or receiv-
ing calls, a lost security code may be the
cause of the problem. When this occurs, the
handset can no longer communicate with the
base. Reset by placing the handset on the
base for 5-10 seconds. If that does not work,
unplug the AC adapter from the wall outlet.
Disconnect the handset battery for
5-10 seconds, and then reconnect. Place
hand-set back on the base and then reinsert
the AC adapter.
