information

Take time to read this user manual before you use your Telephone. It contains important information and notes regarding your Telephone.

1.1 Power requirements

• This product requires an electrical supply of 120 V AC for North America and 230 V AC for Europe. Observe the electrical ratings and other markings on the power adapters and make sure they are appropriate for use with the outlet supply.

• In case of power failure, the communication can be lost as well as the date and time settings.

• The Electrical network is classified as hazardous. The only way to power down the charger is to unplug the power supply from the electrical outlet. Ensure that the electrical outlet is alway easily accessible.

War nin g

• Use only the mains adapter supplied with this equipment. Incorrect adapter polarity or voltage can seriously damage the unit.

• Do not allow the charging contacts or the battery to come into contact with conductive materials.

• Do not allow the handset to come into contact with liquids or moisture.

• Never use any other battery than the one delivered with the product or recommended by Philips: risk of explosion.

• Always use the cables provided with the product.

• Handsfree activation could suddenly increase the volume in the earpiece to a very high level: make sure the handset is not too close to your ear.

• This equipment is not designed to make emergency calls when the power fails.

access to emergency services.

• No Emergency Calls for Skype line. Skype is not a replacement for your ordinary telephone and cannot be used for emergency calling.

• Do not open the handset, base unit or charger. This could expose you to high voltages.

• There is a slight chance that your product could be damaged by an electrical storm. Unplug the product from the power supply and telephone socket during a storm.

• Do not use the handset in an explosive hazard area such as where there is gas leaking.

• Do not use this product near intensive care medical equipments or by persons with pacemakers.

• This product can interfere with electrical equipment such as answering machine, television, radio, and computers if placed too close. Put the base unit at least one meter from such appliances.

1.2 Digital security system

Your cordless phone uses a digital security system to protect against false ringing, unauthorized access, and charges to your phone line. There is a unique digital security code programmed in each unit. When the base and the handset are powered up the first time, the handset automatically links with the base ready for normal and secure use. If you have purchased additional accessory handset(s), you will need to follow the registration procedure in “Handset Registration” in this manual to maintain intact the digital security.

1.3 Hearing aid compatibility (HAC)

This telephone system meets FCC and Industry Canada standards for Hearing Aid Compatibility.

Please note that this telephone works by sending radio signals between the base unit and the handset. These signals may interfere with some hearing aids, causing a humming noise.

1.4 Noise

Electrical pulse noise is present at one time or another. This is most intense during electrical storms. Certain kinds of electrical equipment, such as light dimmers, fluorescent bulbs, motors, fans, etc., also generate pulse noise. Because radio frequencies are susceptible to this, you may on occasion hear pulse noise through the base unit. This is usually only a minor annoyance and should not be interpreted as a defect of the unit. Humming noice, if present in hearing aid through the handset, falls into the same category.

1.5 Software licences

This product contains open source software packages. An overview of these packages, the licences and/or notices that apply to them, and the source code for a number of these packages are available in the on-line product documentation, which is visible on www.phili ps.com/support.

11 Appendix

Equipment compliance information for USA and Canada

Your telephone equipment is certified for connection to the Public Switched Telephone Network and is in compliance with Part 68 of FCC Rules and Regulations, and the Technical Requirements for Telephone Terminal Equipment adopted by ACTA.

Notification to the Local Telephone Company

On the bottom of this equipment is a label indicating, among other information, the US number and Ringer Equivalence Number (REN) for the equipment. You must, upon request, provide this information to your telephone company. The REN is useful in determining the number of devices you may connect to your telephone line and still have all of these devices ring when your telephone number is called. In most (but not all) areas, the sum of the RENs of all devices connected to one PSTN line should not exceed 5. To be certain of the number of devices you may connect to your line as determined by the REN, you should contact your local telephone company. A plug and jack used to connect this equipment to the premise wiring and telephone network must comply with the applicable FCC Part 68 rules and requirements adopted by the ACTA. A compliant telephone cord set with modular plugs is provided with this product. It is designed to be connected to a compatible modular jack that is also compliant. See installation instructions for details.

Notes

• This equipment may not be used on coin service provided by the telephone company.

• Party lines are subject to state tariffs, and therefore, you may not be able to use your

line. Check with your local telephone company.

• Notice must be given to the telephone company upon permanent disconnection of your telephone from your line.

• If your home has specially wired alarm equipment connected to the telephone line, ensure the installation of this product does not disable your alarm equipment. If you have questions about what will disable alarm equipment, consult your alarm equipment supplier or a qualified installer.

Rights of the Telephone Company

Should your equipment cause trouble on your line which may harm the telephone network, the telephone company shall, where practicable, notify you that temporary discontinuance of service may be required. Where prior notice is not practicable and the circumstances warrant such action, the telephone company may temporarily discontinue service immediately. In case of such temporary discontinuance, the telephone company must: (1) promptly notify you of such temporary discontinuance; (2) afford you the opportunity to correct the situation; and (3) inform you of your right to bring a complaint to the Commission pursuant to procedures set forth in Subpart E of Part 68, FCC Rules and Regulations.

THE TELEPHONE COMPANY MAY MAKE CHANGES IN ITS COMMUNICATIONS FACILITIES, EQUIPMENT, OPERATIONS OR PROCEDURES WHERE SUCH ACTION IS REQUIRED IN THE OPERATION OF ITS BUSINESS AND NOT INCONSISTENT WITH FCC RULES AND REGULATIONS. IF THESE CHANGES ARE EXPECTED TO AFFECT THE USE OR PERFORMANCE OF YOUR TELEPHONE EQUIPMENT, THE TELEPHONE COMPANY MUST GIVE YOU ADEQUATE NOTICE, IN WRITING, TO ALLOW YOU TO MAINTAIN UNINTERRUPTED SERVICE.
