Maintenance

Taking care of your telephone

Your cordless telephone contains sophisticated electronic parts,

•
so you must treat it with care.

Avoid rough treatment.

•
Place the handset down gently.

•
Save the original packing materials to protect your telephone if

•
you ever need to ship it.

Avoid water

You can damage your telephone if it gets wet. Do not use the

•
handset in the rain, or handle it with wet hands. Do not install
the telephone base near a sink, bathtub or shower.

Electrical storms

Electrical storms can sometimes cause power surges harmful to

•
electronic equipment. For your own safety, take caution when
using electric appliances during storms.

Cleaning your telephone

Your telephone has a durable plastic casing that should retain

•

its luster for many years. Clean it only with a so cloth slightly

dampened with water or mild soap.
Do not use excess water or cleaning solvents of any kind.

•

Remember that electrical appliances can cause serious injury if used when you

when using this product to reduce the risk of injury, re, or electric shock.

Safety information

Read and understand all instructions in the user’s manual. Observe all markings on

•
the product.

Avoid using a telephone during a thunderstorm. There might be a slight chance

•
of electric shock from lightning.

Do not use a telephone in the vicinity of a gas leak. Under certain circumstances,

•
a spark may be created when the adapter is plugged into the power outlet, or
when the handset is replaced in its cradle. This is a common event associated
with the closing of any electrical circuit. In an inadequately ventilated
environment, the user should not plug the phone into a power outlet, nor put a

charged handset into the cradle where there are concentrations of ammable
or ame-supporting gases. A spark in such an environment could create a re

or explosion. Such environments might include: medical use of oxygen without
adequate ventilation; industrial gases (cleaning solvents; gasoline vapors; etc.); a
leak of natural gas; etc.

Do not use this product near water or when you are wet. For example, do not

•
use it in a wet basement or shower, nor next to a swimming pool, bathtub,
kitchen sink, and laundry tub. Do not use liquids or aerosol sprays for cleaning.
If the product comes in contact with any liquids, unplug any line or power cord
immediately. Do not plug the product back in until it has dried thoroughly.

Install this product in a protected location where no one can trip over any line or

•
power cords. Protect cords from damage or abrasion.

If this product does not operate normally, read the Troubleshooting section on

•
pages 12-18 of this user’s manual. If you cannot solve the problem, or if the product
is damaged, refer to the Limited warranty section on pages 30-32. Do not open this

In Canada, dial 1 [phone].

To prevent risk of re or battery explosion, replace with the correct battery type.

•

Dispose of used batteries according to the instructions.

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 o 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 oen 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.

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

An de prévenir les risques d’incendie ou d’explosion de la pile, replacez la pile avec

•

une pile du même type. Jetez les piles épuisées en respectant les instructions.

Spéciquement en rapport avec les téléphones sans l

Condentialité : Les mêmes caractéristiques qui rendent les téléphones sans l

•

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 l.

Pour cette raison, vous ne devez pas considérer les conversations sur un téléphone

sans l comme étant aussi condentielles que celles d’un téléphone à cordon.
Alimentation électrique : La base de ce téléphone sans l 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 eectués 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 l

•

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 l à proximité d’un téléviseur ou magnétoscope, ni
directement sur celui-ci. Si votre téléviseur ache des interférences, éloignez le
téléphone sans l de celui-ci an 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 court-circuiter avec des matériaux conducteurs, tels que des
bagues, bracelets et clés. La pile ou le conducteur peut surchauer 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 l numériques) :
L’organisme ‘Wireless Technology Research, LLC (WTR)’, une rme de recherche

indépendante, a mené une évaluation pluridisciplinaire des interférences entre

les téléphones sans l portatifs et les stimulateurs cardiaques implantés dans

l’organisme. Appuyée par l’Administration des aliments et drogues (FDA) des États-

unis, la rme WTR recommande aux médecins :

Avis aux détenteurs de stimulateurs cardiaques

Ils doivent tenir le téléphone sans l à une distance d’au moins six pouces du

•

stimulateur cardiaque.

Ils ne doivent PAS placer le téléphone sans l directement sur le stimulateur

•

cardiaque, tel que dans une poche de chemise, lorsque celui-ci est en fonction.

Ils doivent utiliser le téléphone sans l en l’appuyant sur l’oreille qui se trouve dans

•

la direction opposée au stimulateur cardiaque.

L’étude eectuée par l’organisme WRS n’a pas identié de risque pour les détenteurs
de simulateurs cardiaques causé par les gens qui utilisent un téléphone sans l 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.

Spéciquement 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.

DECT 6.0 digital technology

The AT&T DECT 6.0 products oer unsurpassed range performance and sound

clarity. This is achieved through a unique antenna design and advances in noise-

ltering technology. An independent laboratory has conrmed that AT&T DECT

6.0 products perform up to 45% better in range competitions against similarly

equipped phones of the leading competition. Now, calls can be taken in the
basement, backyard and garage with exceptional sound quality.

Telephone operating range

This cordless telephone operates within the maximum power allowed by the Federal
Communications Commission (FCC). Even so, this handset and telephone base can
communicate over a certain distance — which can vary with the locations of the

telephone base and handset, the weather, and the construction of your home or oce.

Redening long range coverage and clarity

This telephone base comes with an antenna which gives much better clarity and
covers a longer range than before.

HD audio

HD audio improves sound quality by expanding and rebuilding frequencies that
are lost with traditional phone calls. There is no additional telephone service
requirement to use HD audio. It is designed to work with standard telephone
service. Your system will automatically enhance all received sound with HD audio.

Simulated full-duplex handset speakerphone

The simulated full-duplex speakerphone on your handset allows both ends of a call
to speak and be heard at the same time. Optimal performance is subject to external
factors and individual usage.
