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. c. If power goes out, it won’t work, so back-up power is recommended.

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, 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: Preliminary studies done by the US FDA and others have shown that, 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, FDA 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.

Product Safety Instructions

1. Read and understand all instructions.

2. Follow all warnings and instructions including those marked on the product.

~5~

3. Changes or modifications to this product not expressively approved by the

manufacturer will void the warranty and the FCC authorization to operate the equipment. Use only manufacturer provided accessories.

4. Do not use the telephone near water. Never spill liquid of any kind on this

product.

5. Unplug the product from the wall telephone jack and power outlet before

cleaning. Do not use liquid or aerosol cleaners. Use damp cloth for cleaning.

6. Do not place this product on an unstable cart, stand, or table. The product may

fall and cause personal injury or damage to the product or other property.

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.

9. Never push objects of any kind into this product through housing

slots/openings as they may damage the product, touch dangerous voltage points or short out parts that could result in fire, electric shock, or injury.

10. This product should be operated only from the type of power source indicated

on the marking label. If you are not sure of the type of power supply to your home, consult your dealer or local power company.

11. Do not overload wall power outlets and extension cords as this may result in

fire or electric shock.

12. To avoid electric shock or burn, do not disassemble this product. Send this

product to an authorized service center when service or repair work is required. Opening or removing covers may expose you to dangerous voltages, electrical currents or other risks. Incorrect reassembling of the product may cause electric shock when the product is subsequently used.

13. Avoid using the product during a storm. There may be a risk of electric shock

from lightning.

14. Do not place the product where persons can step, trip, or fall on it.

15. Do not place conductive objects over or near the antenna.

16. Do not use the product to report a gas leak while in the vicinity of the leak.

~6~

17. Do not install the base station or the handset charger near microwave ovens, radios, TV sets, speakers, or other electrical equipment. These appliances may cause interference to the product or experience interference from the product.

18. Unplug the base station or the charger adaptor from the power outlet and refer to an authorized service center under the following conditions:

a. If liquid has been spilled into the product. b. When the power supply cord or plug is damaged or frayed. c. If the product has been exposed to rain or water. d. If the product does not operate normally by following the operating

instructions.

e. If the product has been dropped or housing has been damaged. f. If the product shows a distinct change in performance.

Battery Safety Instructions

1. Use only manufacturer approved Li-ion rechargeable batteries and charger. Do not use other types of rechargeable batteries or non-rechargeable 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.
