Important Safety Instructions (continued)
The cordless handset operates on batteries, please read and follow instructions:
A. Use only the battery pack supplied with the unit or identical replacement.
B. Do not dispose of battery pack in a fire. The cells may explode. Check with
local codes for possible disposal instruction.
C. Since released electrolyte is corrosive and may cause damage to eyes or
skin and may be toxic if swallowed:
C1. Do not open or mutilate battery pack.
C2. Always replace the entire battery pack rather than reusing one or
more cells.
C3. Do not expose batteries to heat or flame.
D. Exercise care in handling the battery pack in order not to "short" the battery
contacts with conducting materials such as rings, bracelets, and keys. The
battery or conductor may overheat and cause burns.

with this product by heating it. Sudden release of the battery electrolyte
may occur causing burns or irritation to the eyes or skin.
C. Remove the battery from this product if the product will not be used for
a long period of time (several months or more) since during this time the
battery could leak in the product.
D. Properly dispose of "dead" batteries as soon as possible since "dead"
batteries are more likely to leak in a product.
E. Do not store this product or the battery provided with or identified for use
with this product in high-temperature areas. Batteries that are stored in a
freezer or refridgerator for the purpose of extending shelf life should be
protected from condensation during storage and defrosting. Batteries

NOTE: The advanced channel scanning technique employed by the
CP-2505 ensures that a clear channel is chosen. The TALK button
flashes during scanning. In the presence of radio interference (such as
another cordless telephone or baby monitor) there may be slight delay
in accessing the line when placing a call.
NOTE: Some cordless telephones operate at frequencies that may cause
interference to nearby TV's and VCR's. To minimize or prevent such interference, the base of the cordless telephone should not be placed near or on top of
TV's or VCR's. If interference is experienced, moving the cordless telephone
base further away from the TV or VCR will often reduce or eliminate the
interference.
CAUTION: Any changes or modifications not expressly approved by Cobra
could void the user's authority to operate the equipment.
