cordless phone’s base unit, noise may
be heard. Move away from the other
cordless phone’s base unit and closer to
your base unit.
Introduction

heat sources such as heaters, kitchen
stoves, etc. It should not be placed in
rooms where the temperature is less
than 5 °C (41 °F) or greater than 40 °C
(104 °F). Damp basements should also
be avoided.
L The maximum calling distance may be
shortened when the product is used in
the following places: Near obstacles
such as hills, tunnels, underground, near
metal objects such as wire fences, etc.
L Operating near 2.4 GHz electrical
appliances may cause interference.
Move away from the electrical
appliances.

at all times. (It is normal for the adaptor
to feel warm during use.)
L The AC adaptor should be connected to
a vertically oriented or floor-mounted AC
outlet. Do not connect the AC adaptor to
a ceiling-mounted AC outlet, as the

Note:
L Battery operating time may be
shortened over time depending on
usage conditions and surrounding
temperature.
L Battery power is consumed whenever
the handset is off the base unit or
charger, even when the handset is not in
use. Hence the longer you leave the
handset off the base unit or charger, the
less time you may actually talk using the
handset.
L After the handset is fully charged,
displaying “Charge completed”, it
may be left on the base unit (or charger)
without any ill effect on the battery.
L The battery level may not be displayed
correctly after you replace the battery. In
this case, place the handset on the base
unit (or charger) and let charge for 6
