Safety Information

1 Safety Information

Please read this operating instruction manual thoroughly.

Intended use

The telephone is suitable for telephoning within a public telephone net­work system. Any other use is considered unintended use. Unauthorised
modification or reconstruction is not permitted. Under no circumstances
open the device or complete any repair work yourself.

Installation location

Prevent excessive exposure to smoke, dust, vibration, chemicals, mois­ture, heat and direct sunlight.

Power supply

Caution: Only use the power adapter plug supplied because

other power supplies could damage the telephone. Ensure ac­cess to the power adapter plug is not obstructed by furniture or
such.

Hearing aid compatibility

Using the premium receiver, the telephone is perfectly compatible with
most popular hearing aids on the market. However, due to the wide range
of hearing aids available, there is no guarantee that the telephone will
function problem−free with every model.

Caution: This telephone is capable of producing very volume le-

vels when the amplifier is switched on and the volume control is
set to maximum. Extreme caution should be taken if the handset
is to be shared between users with normal hearing and those with
hearing impairment.

Disposal

You are obliged to dispose of consumable goods properly in ac­cordance with the applicable legal regulations. The adjacent sym­bol on the telephone indicates that electrical and electronic appa­ratus and batteries no longer required must be disposed of
separate from domestic waste.

Electrical and electronic devices must be disposed of at suit­able collection points provided by the public waste authorities.

Batteries must be disposed of at the point of sale or at the ap­propriate collection points provided by the public waste authori­ties.

Packaging materials must be disposed of according to local reg­ulations.
