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, 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.
5. WARNING! The Handset may attract and pick up small metal objects,
such as staples, pins, etc, if placed face down on a surface that may
contain these objects
Product Safety Instructions
1. Read and understand all instructions.
~3~
~4~
2. Follow all warnings and instructions including those marked on the
product.
3. Changes or modifications to this product not expressively approved by

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.
These openings must not be blocked or covered. Placing the product on
a bed, carpeting, or other similar surface may block these openings and

instructions.
e. If the product has been dropped or housing has been damaged.
f. If the product shows a distinct change in performance.
8. Slots or openings in the product’s housing are provided for ventilation.
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. Battery must be recycled or disposed of properly. Do not dispose the
battery in a fire. The cells may explode. 10. This product should be operated only from the type of power source
4. Do not dispose of the battery in municipal waste. Check with local codes

pocketknife, and coins. The battery or conductive material may overheat
and cause burn or fire.
6. Do not expose batteries to rain or water.
7. 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.
~5~

8. During charging, the battery heats up. This is normal and is not
dangerous.
Regulatory Information
1. This telephone system complies with rules for ACA approval . On the bottom of the base
station is a label that contains, among other information, the FCC Registration Number,
Ringer Equivalence Number (REN) and the Universal Service Order Code, which is RJ11C in the U.S. or CA-11A in Canada. Your telephone service provider may ask you for
this information.
2. 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.
3. 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 service provider for your rights if this happens.
4. 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.
5. This telephone system has been tested and found to comply with the limits for Class B
digital devices, pursuant to Part 15 of the FCC Rules and RSS210 of the DOC Rules.
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.
6. 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:
a. We recommend at least 8 metrest between the s ystem and other electronic devices.
b. 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.
