R Unplug the product from power outlets

before cleaning. Do not use liquid or aerosol cleaners.

R Do not disassemble the product. R Do not spill liquids (detergents, cleansers,

etc.) onto the telephone line cord plug, or allow it to become wet at all. This may cause a fire. If the telephone line cord plug becomes wet, immediately pull it from the telephone wall jack, and do not use.

Medical

R Consult the manufacturer of any personal

medical devices, such as pacemakers or hearing aids, to determine if they are adequately shielded from external RF (radio frequency) energy. (The product operates in the frequency range of

1.92 GHz to 1.93 GHz, and the RF transmission power is 115 mW (max.).)

R Do not use the product in health care

facilities if any regulations posted in the area instruct you not to do so. Hospitals or health care facilities may be using equipment that could be sensitive to external RF energy.

Link to Cell

Link to cell feature

To use this feature, you must first register and connect your cellular phones to the base unit (page 18). Your cellular phones must have Bluetooth wireless technology that is compatible with this product. This feature allows you to: – make or answer cellular calls using your

home phone (handset or base unit) with better reception.

– maximize the benefits of cellular services

(such as free night and weekend calls, or cellular to cellular call plans) by utilizing unused peak minutes with your home phone.

– conserve the battery power of your cellular

phone while the unit is on a cellular call. (We recommend charging your cellular phone during the cellular call as your cellular phone battery is being consumed.)

Important:

R Up to 2 cellular phones can be registered.

However, only one Bluetooth device (cellular phone or headset) can be connected to the base unit at a time.

R Locate your cellular phone near the base

unit. If the cellular phone is too close to the base unit during a cellular call, you may hear noise. For best performance, we recommend placing the cellular phone between 0.6 m to 3 m (2 feet to 10 feet) away from the base unit.
