hazard or cause injury.
Make sure the rechargeable battery is inserted the right way round.
Use the battery specified in these operating instructions.
The phone may affect medical equipment so always switch your phone off
before entering hospitals or doctors’ practices.
The handset may cause an unpleasant humming noise in hearing aids.
Do not operate the phone in places where there is a risk of explosion
(such as paint workshops).
!

VerizonV300AM – more than just a telephone
Verizon V300AM –
more than just a telephone
Your phone not only enables you to store
up to 150 telephone numbers (page 15) –
it can do a whole lot more:
u You can designate important people as
VIPs so you can identify important calls
from the ringtone (page 15).
u You can store anniversary dates
(page 16) in your phone and it will
remind you of them in advance.
u Select frequently used phone numbers
at the press of a single key (page 15).
u View missed calls on your phone
(page 18).
u Select 12 or 24-hour format for dis-
playing the time (page 10).
u ECO DECT reduces power consumption
by using a power supply with low
power consumption. Your handset
reduces the transmitting power
depending on the distance to the base
station (close-up range).
Note:
The transmitting power of the base station is
reduced to almost zero when the handset is
docked and only one handset is registered on
the base station (not applicable for
Verizon V300AM-2).
Have fun using your new telephone!
