For the handset use only AAA Nickel
Metal Hydride (NiMH) rechargeable
batteries with a minimum capacity of
550 mAh. Never use other batteries or
conventional alkaline batteries as this
could lead to a short circuit or destroy
the battery casing.
If the keyguard is switched on, it is
NOT possible to make calls, including
emergency numbers (999/112).
Do not open the base or handset (other
than to change batteries). This could
expose you to high voltages or other risks.
Radio signals transmitted between the
handset and base may cause interference
to hearing aids.
