Safety information

General

Only use the power adaptor supplied with this product.
Using an unauthorised power adaptor will invalidate your
guarantee and may damage the phone. The power adaptor
code is C39280 –Z4 –C478.

For the handset use only approved Nickel Cadmium

1.2V. Batteries are available from:
www.withandwithoutwires.com or call 0870 240 5522.

If the keyguard is switched on, it is not possible to make
calls, including emergency numbers (999/112).

Do not open the base station or handset (other than to

voltages or other risks.

Radio signals transmitted between the handset and base

This product should not be used near emergency/intensive

used by people with pacemakers fitted.

Never dispose of batteries in a fire. There is a serious risk
of explosion and/or the release of highly toxic chemicals.

Simply clean the handset and base station with a damp
(not wet) cloth, or an anti-static wipe. Never use household
polish as this will damage the product. Never use a dr y
cloth as this may cause a static shock.

The product may heat up when the batteries are being

recharged. This is normal. However, we recommend that
you do not place the product on antique/veneered wood
to avoid damage.
