If the product exhibits a distinct change in performance.

Do not use the telephone to report a gas leak in the vicinity or the leak.

To reduce the risk of fire or injury to persons by the battery, read and follow these instructions.

ΠUse only the appropriate type and size battery pack specified in the manual.

ΠExercise care in handling the battery in order not to short the battery with conducting materials such as rings, bracelets, and buttons. The battery or conductor can overheat and cause burns.

Privacy

Cordless telephones are radio devices. Communications between the handset and base of the cordless telephone are accomplished by means of radio waves which are broadcast over the open airways. Because of the inherent physical properties of radio waves, communication can be received by radio receiving devices other than your own telephone unit, consequently, any communications using the cordless telephone may not be private.

SECTION 4 IMPORTANT ELECTRICAL CONSIDERATIONS

Do not attempt to unplug any appliance during an electrical storm.

Unplug all electrical appliances when you know an electrical storm is approaching. Lightning can pass through your household wiring and damage any device connected to it. This telephone is no exception.

Caution:

Changes or modifications to this product not expressly approved by NEC Unified Solutions, Inc., or operation of this product in any way other than as detailed by this manual, could void your authority to operate this product.

Specifications and Safety Information

Dterm Cordless DECT Document Revision 1

___________________________________________________________________________________

Range

Nominal values of the DECT system are:

164 feet (50 meters) – Indoor

984 feet (300 meters) – Outdoor

The telephone is designed to achieve a maximum range of up to 350 feet (depending upon the environment), by transmitting and receiving according to the highest specifications set forth by the FCC. We have rated this phone to operate at a maximum distance with the qualification that the range depends upon the environment in which the telephone is used. Many factors limit range, and it would be impossible to include all of the variables in our rating. The maximum range rating of this telephone is meant to be used as a means of comparison against other range claims.

Telephone Line Problems

The FCC has granted the telephone company the right to disconnect service in the event that your telephone causes problems on the telephone line. Also, the telephone company may make changes in facilities and services which can affect the operation of your unit. However, your telephone company must give adequate notice in writing prior to such actions to allow you time for making necessary arrangements to continue uninterrupted service.

If you are having trouble with your telephone service, you must first disconnect your telephone to determine if it is the cause of your problem. If you determine that it is the cause, you must leave it disconnected until the trouble has been corrected.

Radio Interference

Radio interference may occasionally cause buzzing and humming in your cordless handset, or clicking noises in the base unit. This interference is caused by external sources such as TV, fluorescent lighting, or electrical storm. Your unit is NOT DEFECTIVE. If these noises continue and are too distracting, check around your office to see what appliances may be causing the problem. In addition, we recommend that the base not be plugged into a circuit that also powers a major appliance because of the potential of interference. For best performance, ensure that the antenna on the base unit is fully extended.

In the unlikely event that you consistently hear other voices or distracting transmissions on your telephone, you may be receiving radio signals for another cordless telephone or other source of interference.

___________________________________________________________________________________

Owner’s Guide

1 - 5

Document Revision 1 Dterm Cordless DECT

___________________________________________________________________________________

Finally, it should be noted that some cordless telephones operate at frequencies that may cause interference to nearby TVs and VCRs. To minimize or prevent such interference, the base of the cordless telephone should not be placed near or on top of a TV or VCR. If interference is experienced, moving the cordless telephone farther away from the TV or VCR will often reduce or eliminate the interference.

More than One Cordless Telephone

If you want to use more than one cordless telephone in your office, they must operate on different channels and more than 20 feet apart.

If more than eight DTL-8R-1s are used in the same area, there is a possibility that the following problem occurs:

Difficulty connecting the Handset with the Base Unit

Some noises can be heard during conversation

The DTL-8R-1 is limited to five RF channels. The RF channel is changed automatically to find the best channel.

Depending on your environment, the maximum number of cordless devices used without interference varies.

Multiple base and handset units should not be closer than 20 feet at any time.

Radio interference causes interruptions in conversation. When this happens, your unit is not defective. When noise continues, move to a different location while you talk. (You might even need to move the base unit.) When the situation persists, contact the National Technical Assistance Center (NTAC).
