Safety Instructions

Caution: Your wireless telephone gives you freedom and flexibility to stay

in touch while you move around. However, when using your phone equipment, safety instructions should be followed to avoid the risks of fire, electric shock, injury to person, and damage to property.

General Safety Instructions

1. When using your wireless phone, ensure your safety and the safety of others:

a. Always watch where you are walking and standing. b. Don’t let a phone call distract you from working safely.

2. In an emergency: a. If an emergency occurs, dial the emergency phone number.

Remember: if you are in an area where your phone does not have a clear signal from the base station, it is highly probable that the call may not go through. Locate the nearest landline telephone or other communications device to call for help.

b. Emergency calls may not automatically provide emergency

personnel with your name, phone number or location.

3. Notice to Hearing Aid Users: This phone system is compatible with inductively coupled hearing aids.

4. Notice to Cardiac Pacemaker Users: Although interference to the implanted cardiac pacemaker may occur when operating very closely, wireless telephones “do not seem to pose a significant problem for pacemaker wearers.” However, until more is known, suggests that people with pacemakers may want to take precautions when using or carrying a wireless telephone to ensure that there is ample distance between the telephone and the pacemaker. Do not carry the handset in a breast pocket. If you have any reason to suspect that interference is taking place, turn off your handset immediately.

7. Power Outage: In the event of a power outage, your handset charger will not recharge the handset battery, and the base station will not allow you to make an outgoing call or take an incoming call. Both the charger and the base station require electricity for operation. You should have a telephone that does not require electricity available for use during power outage, or have a temporary backup power supply.

8. Slots or openings in the product’s housing are provided for ventilation. These openings must not be blocked or covered. Placing the product on a bed, carpeting, or other similar surface may block these openings and should be avoided. This product should never be placed near or over a radiator or heat register, or in a built-in installation unless proper ventilation is provided.

Battery Safety Instructions

1. Use only manufacturer approved Li-ion rechargeable batteries and charger. Do not use other types of rechargeable batteries or nonrechargeable batteries. The batteries could short-circuit, and the battery enclosure may be damaged causing a hazardous condition.

2. Follow the charging instruction in this manual and instruction labels and markings in the handset and charger compartments.

3. The battery should not be charged in the place where the temperature is less than 0℃ or greater than 40℃.

4. Battery must be recycled or disposed of properly. Do not dispose the battery in a fire. The cells may explode.

5. Do not dispose of the battery in municipal waste. Check with local codes for disposal instructions.

6. Exercise care in handling the batteries in order not to short-circuit the battery with conductive materials such as rings, bracelets, keys, pocketknife, and coins. The battery or conductive material may overheat and cause burn or fire.

7. Do not expose batteries to rain or water.

8. Do not open or mutilate the battery. Released electrolyte is corrosive and may cause injury to eyes or skin. The electrolyte may be toxic if swallowed.

9. During charging, the battery heats up. This is normal and is not dangerous.

Regulatory Information

EP800

This device complies with CE Rules. Operation is subject to the following two conditions:

1) this device may not cause harmful interference, and

2) this device must accept any interference received, including interference that may cause undesired operation.

This telephone system complies with rules of the EN 301 357-2 (RF)、 EN 301 489 (EMC)、EN 60950 (Safety) and EN 50371 (RF safety).

The REN is useful to determine the quantity of devices you may connect to your telephone line and still have all devices ring when your telephone number is called. In most, but not all, areas the sum of the REN’s of all devices connected to one line should not exceed 5.0. To be certain of the number of devices you may connect to your phone line, you should contact you local telephone company for the maximum REN in your area.

If your telephone equipment causes problems to the telephone network, the telephone company may ask you to disconnect your phone system from the line until the problem has been corrected. Consult with your local phone company for your rights if this happens.

Your telephone company may make changes in its facilities, equipment, operations, or procedures that could affect the proper functioning of your telephone system. Consult with your local phone company for your rights if this happens.

This telephone system may not be used on coin service provided by the telephone company. Connection to party lines is subject to state tariffs.

This telephone system has been tested and found to comply with the limits for rules of the EN 301 357-2 (RF)、EN 301 489 (EMC)、EN 60950 (Safety) and EN 50371 (RF safety). These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful interference in a general public installation. Operations of these devices may still encounter interference from/to nearby TV’s, VCR’s, radios, computers, or other electronic devices. To minimize or prevent such interference, the telephone system should not be placed or operated near other electronic devices.

~7~

~8~

However, there is no guarantee that interference will not occur in a particular installation. If this telephone system does cause interference to other electronic devices, which can be determined by turning the system off and on, the user is encouraged to try to correct the interference by one or several of the following measures:

We recommend at least 20 feet between the system and other electronic devices.

Connect the base station to a power outlet on a circuit separate from that used by the device experiencing interference. Consult the dealer or an experienced electronic technician for help.
