Important User Information
Power supply
Connect the AC power adapter of the charging unit only to the designated power sources as marked on the charger.
Make sure the cord is positioned so that it will not be subjected to damage or stress.
To reduce risk of electrical shock, unplug the chargers from any power source before attempting to clean or move it.
The AC power adapters must not be used outdoors or in damp areas.
Never modify the cord or plug. If the plug will not fit into the outlet, have a proper outlet installed by a qualified electrician.
Limit the distance between the mains socket and the cordless phone when charging for easy accessibility.
As an energy saving measure, disconnect the charger from the main socket after charging.
When unplugging the mains adapter from the power outlet, make sure that your hands are dry and ensure that you hold the solid portion of the mains adapter.
Do not pull on cables.
Charging and batteries
Please read carefully the following important precautions before the first time use of the batteries. Make sure to understand and observe all cautionary instructions stated, so as to avoid any possible safety hazards that are caused by any misuse, misapplication or damage to batteries.
•Only use batteries, mains adapters or desk and rack chargers which have been specifically designed for use with your product.
Use of power sources not explicitly recommended may lead to overheating, reduced battery performance, distortion of the equipment and fire or other damages.
Cordless phones are equipped with Nickel Metal Hydride (NiMH) batteries or Lithium Ion Lion batteries. In a complex infrastructure, the talk­and standby time may differ, due to the consequence of the increase in signaling.
The battery must always be completely charged (minimal 4 hours) before first time use.
The battery in your product is designed to withstand many charge cycles.
Use only the recommended charging equipment.
Improper charging can cause heat damage or even high pressure rupture.
Observe proper charging polarity.
Do not solder lead wires directly onto the battery.
Do not allow water to come into contact with the battery.
The initial charging of a NiMH battery will cause the battery to become warm. This is a normal effect of charging NiMH batteries.
The bat teries are replaceable, however it is not the intention to do this frequently.
Only charge the batteries when placed in the phone.
Use only the specified battery-packs for your product.
Never heat or dispose of the battery into a fire, which, or else, may cause leakage, burst or fire.
Remove the carrying case from the product while in charger.
Do not cover the product while being charged. Do not charge the phone in a closed cabinet or drawer. The charging of the battery is a chemical process and causes the battery to become warm during charging. Make sure the environment in which the phone is charged, is well vented.
The cordless phone can be charged either when switched on or off.
Do not connect the battery's positive and negative leads altogether in any circumstances.
Do not strike or drop the battery. It may cause damage to the battery.
Do not charge the battery below +5°C (+41°F). Be sure to charge the battery between +5°C and +45°C (+41°F and 113°F). Charging beyond these conditions may impair the battery performance and shorten the life cycle.
Do not use battery packs from different types, brands or of different capacities.
The battery is to be stored in a dry cool place, with the ambient temperature of approx. +25°C (+77°F) for best performance.
The battery continues to discharge a minimal portion of its power, even if the product is switched off or the battery is removed.
Dispose the battery in accordance with all local regulations, applicable in your country.

Warnings
Smoke or fumes
Stop operating the products and turn off immediately in case of smoke or fumes. Unplug the mains adapter and remove the batteries from the phone immediately. Continued operation may result in fire or electrical shock.
LCD
If the liquid crystal display breaks, avoid injury by not allowing the liquid crystal to come into contact with eyes, skin or mouth. Prevent the liquid crystal from leaking out of the broken glass.
Preventing malfunction
Never place the equipment in close proximity of electric motors, welding equipment or other devices generating strong (electro) magnetic fields. Exposure to strong (electro) magnetic fields may cause malfunction and corrupt the communication.
Moving the equipment rapidly between warm and cold temperatures may cause condensation (water droplets) to form on its inter nal and external surfaces. Water droplets may cause malfunction of the equipment and corrupt or end communication or damage the equipment. When condensation is noticed, stop using the equipment. Switch off the phone, remove the battery and unplug the mains adapter from the power outlet. Wait until the moisture evaporates from the equipment before putting it in operation again.
Avoid accidental drop of the phone. Use the clip, security clip or carrying case specified for carrying purposes of the phone.
Avoid squeezing the phone between furniture and your body when carrying the phone in your pocket or attached to clothing.
