WARNINGS AND SAFETY INFORMATION

Avoid exposure of this telephone to moisture or liquid. To prevent electric shock, do not open the handset or base cabinet. Avoid metallic contact (e.g. metal clips, keys) between the battery contacts and charging conductors. There is a slight chance that the telephone could be damaged by an electrical storm. It is recommended that users unplug the phone from the mains supply and telephone socket during a storm. Do not use the handset in an explosive hazard area such as where there is gas leaking. Follow the local regulations regarding the disposal of your packing materials, exhausted batteries and used phone. Wherever possible, recycle those materials. We advise that this phone should not be used near intensive care medical equipment or by persons with pacemakers. Clean with a dry, soft, lint-free cloth. Never use cleaning agents, particularly aggressive solvents. Because the phone works by sending radio signals between base station and handset, wearers of hearing aids may experience

interference in the form of a humming noise. Your phone can interfere with electrical equipment such as answering machines, TV and radio sets, clock radios and computers if placed too close. It is recommended that you position the base unit at least one metre from such appliances. This telephone complies with applicable safety requirements for exposure to radio waves (EMR). The mean power of this telephone does not exceed 20mW limit at which point testing is required. The earpiece of the handset may attract small metal objects such as staples and pins. Care should be taken when placing the handset near these items. This telephone is not designed for making emergency telephone calls when the mains power fails. Always have a corded phone available to be able to make and receive calls to emergency services if the mains power fails. Do not use your telephone during an electrical storm thunderstorm as it is possible to get an electric shock. Refer to information contained in White pages directory.

Use only the mains adaptors supplied with this product. Incorrect adaptor polarity or voltage can seriously damage the unit.
