General

For the handset use only approved Nickel Metal

Do not open the handset or base station. This could
expose you to high voltages or other risks. Contact the
helpline for all repairs.

Radio signals transmitted between the handset and base
may cause interference to hearing aids.

It is recommended that advice from a qualified expert
be sought before using this product in the vicinity of
emergency/intensive care medical equipment.

It is recommended that if you have a pacemaker fitted
you check with a medical expert before using this
product.

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