Therefore, it is possible for other radio units operating on similar frequencies, within a certain area, to inadvertently intercept your conversations and/or cause interference on your cordless telephone. This lack of privacy can occur with any cordless phone. IMPORTANT: Cordless phones such as this one require AC power to operate. When the AC power is off, you cannot dial out or receive incoming calls using your TAD-268. For this reason, the TAD- 268 should not be your only telephone. To be safe, you should also have a phone that does not require AC power to operate (not a cordless phone) so you can still make and receive calls if there is an AC power failure. (EB 2/15/96)
