1. Use only the type and size battery(ies) specified in the user
manual.

2. Do not dispose of the battery(ies) in fire. They may explode.
Check with local codes for possible special disposal instructions.

3. Do not open or mutilate the battery(ies). Released electrolyte is
corrosive and may cause damage to the eyes or skin. It may be
toxic if swallowed.

4. Exercise care in handling battery(ies) in order not to short out the
battery(ies) with conducting materials such as rings, bracelets, and
keys. The battery(ies) or conductor may overheat and cause burns.

5. Do not attempt to recharge the battery(ies) provided with or
identified for use with this product that are not intended to be
charged. The battery(ies) may leak corrosive electrolyte or explode.

6. Do not attempt to rejuvenate the battery(ies) provided with or
identified for use with this product by heating them. Sudden
release of the battery(ies) electrolyte may occur causing burns
or irritation to eyes or skin.

7. When replacing battery(ies), all batteries should be replaced at
the same time. Mixing fresh and discharged batteries could
increase internal cell pressure and rupture the discharged
battery(ies). (Applies to products employing more than one
separately replaceable primary battery.)

8. When inserting battery(ies) into this product, the proper polarity
or direction must be observed. Reverse insertion of battery(ies)
can cause charging, and that may result in leakage or explosion.

9. Remove battery(ies) from this product if storing over 30 days
because the battery(ies) could leak and damage the product.

10. Discard "dead" battery(ies) as soon as possible since "dead"
batteries are more likely to leak in a product.

11. Do not store this product, or the battery(ies) provided with or
identified for use with this product, in high-temperature areas.
Batteries that are stored in a freezer or refrigerator for the
purpose of extending shelf life should be protected from
condensation during storage and defrosting. Batteries should be
stabilized at room temperature prior to use after cold storage.

12. If your product uses rechargeable battery(ies), charge the
battery(ies) only in accordance with the instructions and
limitation specified in the User Manual.

TELEPHONE JACK REQUIREMENTS

To use this phone, you need an RJ11C
type modular telephone jack, which
might look like the one pictured here,
installed in your home. If you don’t
have a modular jack, call your local
phone company to find out how to
get one installed.

INSTALLATION NOTE: Some cordless telephones
operate at frequencies that may cause interference to
nearby TVs, microwave ovens, and VCRs. To minimize
or prevent such interference, the base of the cordless
telephone should not be placed near or on top of a
TV, microwave ovens, or VCR. If such interference
continues, move the cordless telephone farther away
from these appliances.

DIGITAL SECURITY SYSTEM

Your cordless phone uses a digital security system to
provide protection against false ringing, unauthorized
access, and charges to your phone line.

When you place the handset in the base, the unit verifies
its security code. After a power outage or battery
replacement, you should place the handset in the base for
about 20 seconds to reset the code.
