Needs and Uses: The Commission requires that cordless telephone security features protect the public switched telephone network from unintentional line seizure and telephone dialing. These features prevent unauthorized access to the telephone line, the dialing of calls in response to signals other than those from the owner's handset and the unintentional ringing of a cordless telephone handset. Use of the cordless telephone security features reduces the harm caused by some cordless telephones to the “911” Emergency Service Telephone System and the telephone network in general.

Federal Communications Commission.

Secretary.
