Especially about cordless telephones
Privacy: The same features that make a cordless telephone 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 telephone conversations could be intercepted by radio receiving equipment within range of the cordless handset. For this reason, you
should not think of cordless telephone conversations as being as private as those on corded telephones. Electrical power: The telephone base of this cordless telephone must be connected to a
working electrical outlet which is not controlled by a wall switch. Calls cannot be made from the handset if the telephone base is unplugged, switched off or if the electrical power is interrupted.
Potential TV interference: Some cordless telephones operate at frequencies that may cause
interference to TVs and VCRs. To minimize or prevent such interference, do not place the telephone base of the cordless telephone near or on top of a TV or VCR. If interference is experienced, moving the cordless telephone farther away from the TV or VCR will often reduce or eliminate the interference.
Rechargeable batteries: This product contains nickel-metal hydride rechargeable batteries.
Exercise care in handling batteries in order not to create a short circuit with conductive material such as rings, bracelets, and keys. The battery or conductor may overheat and cause harm. Observe proper polarity between the battery and the battery charger.
Nickel-metal hydride rechargeable batteries: Dispose of these batteries in a safe manner.
Do not burn or puncture. Like other batteries of this type, if burned or punctured, they could release caustic material which could cause injury.
The RBRC Seal means that the manufacturer is voluntarily participating in an industry program to collect and recycle nickel-metal hydride rechargeable batteries when taken out of service within the United States. These batteries may be taken to a participating local retailer of replacement batteries or recycling center. Or you may call 1-800-8-BATTERY for locations accepting spent Ni-MH batteries.
RBRC and 1-800-8-BATTERY are registered trademarks of the Rechargeable Battery Recycling Corporation.

Precautions for users of implanted cardiac pacemakers Cardiac pacemakers (applies only to digital cordless telephones): Wireless Technology Research,
LLC (WTR), an independent research entity, led a multidisciplinary evaluation of the interference between portable wireless telephones and implanted cardiac pacemakers. Supported by the U.S.
Food and Drug Administration, WTR recommends to physicians that:
Pacemaker patients
Should keep wireless telephones at least six inches from the pacemaker.
• Should NOT place wireless telephones directly over the pacemaker, such as in a breast pocket,
• when it is turned ON.
Should use the wireless telephone at the ear opposite the pacemaker.
WTR’s evaluation did not identify any risk to bystanders with pacemakers from other persons using wireless telephones.
ECO mode
This power conserving technology reduces power consumption for optimal battery performance. The ECO mode activates automatically whenever the handset is synchronized with the telephone base.
Especially about telephone answering systems Two-way recording: This unit does not sound warning beeps to inform the other party that the
call is being recorded. To ensure that you are in compliance with any federal or state regulations regarding recording a telephone call, you should start the recording process and then inform the
other party that you are recording the conversation.

Spécifiquement en rapport avec les téléphones sans fil
Confidentialité : Les mêmes caractéristiques qui rendent les téléphones sans fil si pratiques
créent également des restrictions. Les appels téléphoniques sont transmis entre le socle du téléphone et le combiné par le biais d’ondes radio, et il se peut que vos conversations téléphoniques soient interceptées par d’autres équipements de réception d’ondes radio au sein de la portée du téléphone sans fil. Pour cette raison, vous ne devez pas considérer les
conversations sur un téléphone sans fil comme étant aussi confidentielles que celles d’un téléphone à cordon.
Alimentation électrique : La base de ce téléphone sans fil doit être branchée à une prise
de courant électrique fonctionnelle. La prise électrique ne doit pas être contrôlée par un interrupteur mural. Les appels ne peuvent pas être effectués à partir du combiné si la base
n’est pas branchée, si elle est hors fonction ou si le courant électrique est coupé. Interférences potentielles aux téléviseurs : Certains téléphones sans fil fonctionnent sur
des fréquences pouvant causer des interférences aux téléviseurs et magnétoscopes. Pour réduire ou prévenir de tels parasites, ne pas déposer la base du téléphone sans fil à proximité d’un téléviseur ou magnétoscope, ni directement sur celui-ci. Si votre téléviseur affiche des interférences, éloignez le téléphone sans fil de celui-ci afin de réduire les parasites.
Piles rechargeables : Ce produit comporte des piles rechargeables à l’hydrure métallique de
nickel. Usez de prudence lorsque vous manipulez de telles piles et veillez à ne pas les court­circuiter avec des matériaux conducteurs, tels que des bagues, bracelets et clés. La pile ou le conducteur peut surchauffer et vous brûler. Respectez la polarité adéquate entre les piles et le chargeur de piles.
Piles rechargeables à l’hydrure métallique de nickel : Jetez ces piles de manière sécuritaire.
N’incinérez pas et ne peercez pas les piles. Comme pour les autres piles du même type, si elles sont brûlées ou percées, des matières corrosives peuvent s’en échapper, ce qui risque de causer des brûlures ou autres blessures corporelles.

Mesures préventives pour les utilisateurs de stimulateurs cardiaques implantés dans l’organisme Stimulateurs cardiaques (ne s’applique qu’aux téléphones sans fil numériques) :
L’organisme ‘Wireless Technology Research, LLC (WTR)’, une firme de recherche indépendante, a mené une évaluation pluridisciplinaire des interférences entre les téléphones sans fil portatifs et les stimulateurs cardiaques implantés dans l’organisme. Appuyée par l’Administration des aliments et drogues (FDA) des États-unis, la firme WTR recommande aux médecins :
Avis aux détenteurs de stimulateurs cardiaques
Ils doivent tenir le téléphone sans fil à une distance d’au moins six pouces du stimulateur
• cardiaque.
Ils ne doivent PAS placer le téléphone sans fil directement sur le stimulateur cardiaque, tel que
• dans une poche de chemise, lorsque celui-ci est en fonction.
Ils doivent utiliser le téléphone sans fil en l’appuyant sur l’oreille qui se trouve dans la direction
• opposée au stimulateur cardiaque.
L’étude effectuée par l’organisme WRS n’a pas identifié de risque pour les détenteurs de simulateurs cardiaques causé par les gens qui utilisent un téléphone sans fil à proximité de ceux-ci.
Mode ECO
Lorsque le socle communique avec le combiné, le mode ECO sera activé automatiquement. Ceci réduit la consommation d’énergie selon la distance entre le socle du téléphone et le combiné.
Spécifiquement en rapport avec les répondeurs téléphoniques Enregistrement deux voies : Cet appareil n’émet pas de bips d’avertissement qui permettent de
prévenir l’autre partie que vous enregistrez la conversation. Pour assurer votre conformité aux règlements fédéraux ou provinciaux en rapport avec les enregistrements des conversations téléphoniques, vous devriez informer l’autre partie lorsque vous activez l’enregistrement.
