Important safety information

1Important safety

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.

Alternative arrangements should be made for
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.

Important safety information

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 suscept ible 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
