Safety Instructions
Caution
:
Your wireless telephone gives you freedom and flexibility to stay
4
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. Recommend backup power.
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

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.

Recommended phone line features from the local phone company:
Multiple phone lines “hunt group” is a useful feature and works well with
this phone system. This feature “ties” multiple phone lines to a single
phone number. When an outside caller calls this common phone number,
the phone company automatically finds a free line. In a hunt group, the
Call Waiting and the Caller ID with Call Waiting (or called Type II Caller ID)
features are unnecessary because a 2nd call will come in on a separate line,
rather than on the same line. For a 2nd call coming in on a separate line,
the phone system’s built-in Call Waiting feature will alert the user and
allow the user to toggle between 2 lines.
