IF YOUR PRODUCT UTILIZES BATTERIES, THE FOLLOWING ADDITIONAL PRECAUTIONS SHOULD BE OBSERVED:
1. Use only the type and size of battery(ies) specified in the user manual.
2. Do not dispose of the battery(ies) in fire. They may explode. Check with local codes for possible special disposal instructions.
3. Do not open or mutilate the battery(ies). Released electrolyte is corrosive and may cause damage to the eyes or skin. It may be toxic if swallowed.
4. Exercise care in handling battery(ies) in order not to short out the battery(ies) with conducting materials such as rings, bracelets, and keys. The battery(ies) or conductor may overheat and cause burns.
5. Do not attempt to recharge the battery(ies) provided with or identified for use with this product that are not intended to be charged. The battery(ies) may leak corrosive electrolyte or explode.
6. Do not attempt to rejuvenate the battery(ies) provided with or identified for use with this product by heating them. Sudden release of the battery(ies) electrolyte may occur causing burns or irritation to eyes or skin.
7. When replacing battery(ies), all batteries should be replaced at the same time. Mixing fresh and discharged batteries could increase internal cell pressure and rupture the discharged battery(ies). (Applies to products employing more than one separately replaceable primary battery.)
8. When inserting battery(ies) into this product, the proper polarity or direction must be observed. Reverse insertion of battery(ies) can cause charging, and that may result in leakage or explosion.
9. Remove battery(ies) from this product if storing over 30 days because the battery(ies) could leak and damage the product.
10. Discard “dead” battery(ies) as soon as possible since “dead“ batteries are more likely to leak in a product.
11. Do not store this product, or the battery(ies) provided with or identified for use with this product, in high-temperature areas. Batteries that are stored in a freezer or refrigerator for the purpose of extending shelf life should be protected from condensation during storage and defrosting. Batteries should be stabilized at room temperature prior to use after cold storage.
12. If your product uses rechargeable battery(ies), charge the battery(ies) only in accordance with the instructions and limitation specified in the User Manual.

1 Environment and safety

1.1 Safety information

This telephone is not designed for making emergency telephone calls when the power fails. An alternative should be made available for access to emergency calling.

1.2 Power requirements

The product requires an electrical supply of 120 volts, single phase alternating current, excluding IT installations defined in standard UL
60950. In case of power failure, the communication can be lost.

1.3 Battery requirements

The handset requires power source of two rechargeable NiMH batteries, size AAA 1.2V 750mAh (HR11/45).
CAUTION
The electrical network is classified as dangerous according to criteria in the standard UL 60950. The only way to power down this product is by unplugging the power supply from the electrical outlet. Ensure the electrical outlet is located close to the apparatus and is always easily accessible.

1.4 Telephone connection

The voltage on the network is classified as TNV-3 (Telecommunication Network Voltages, as defined in the standard UL 60950). Following a power cut, the call in progress is lost.
Warning
Users should ensure for their own protection that the electrical ground connections of the power utility, telephone lines and internal metallic water pipe system, if present, are connected together. This precaution may be particularly important in rural areas.

1.5 Environmental care

Please remember to observe the local regulations regarding the disposal of your packaging materials, exhausted batteries and old phone and where possible promote their recycling.

1.6 Precautions

• Because the phone works by sending radio
signals between the base unit and the handset, wearers of hearing aids may experience interference in the form of a humming noise.
• We advise that this phone should not be used
near intensive care medical equipment, nor by persons with pacemakers.
• 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 meter from such appliances.
CAUTION
Use only the mains adapter supplied with this telephone. Incorrect adapter polarity or voltage can seriously damage the unit. Base adapter:
Input: 120 VAC 60 Hz Output: 9 VDC 400 mA
Charger adapter:
Input: 120 VAC 60 Hz Output: 9 VDC 200 mA
CAUTION
RISK OF EXPLOSION IF BATTERY IS REPLACED BY AN INCORRECT TYPE.
Never use nonrechargeable batteries; use recommended type supplied with this telephone. NiMH batteries must be disposed of in accordance with the applicable waste disposal regulations.
FCC CERTIFICATION NUMBER IS LOCATED ON THE CABINET BOTTOM
The term “IC:” before the certification number signifies that Industry Canada technical specifications were met. This certification means that the equipment meets certain radio communications and operational requirements.

11.5 Interference Information

This device complies with Part 15 of the FCC Rules. Operation is subject to the following two conditions:
24
Appendix
Page 27
(1) this device may not cause harmful interference; and (2) this device must accept any interference received, including interference that may cause undesired operation. This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class b digital device, pursuant to Part 15 of the FCC Rules. These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful interference in a residential installation. This equipment generates, uses, and can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not installed and used in accordance with the instructions, may cause harmful interference to radio communications. However, there is no guarantee that interference will not occur in a particular installation. If this equipment does cause harmful interference to radio or television reception, which can be determined by turning the equipment off and on, the user is encouraged to try to correct the interference by one or more of the following measures:
• Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna
(that is, the antenna for radio or television that is “receiving” the interference).
• Reorient or relocate and increase the
separation between the telecommunications equipment and receiving antenna.
• Connect the telecommunications equipment
into an outlet on a circuit different from that to
which the receiving antenna is connected. If these measures do not eliminate the interference, please consult your dealer or an experienced radio/television technician for additional suggestions. Also, the Federal Communications Commission has prepared a helpful booklet, “How To Identify and Resolve Radio/TV Interference Problems”. This booklet is available from the U.S. Government Printing Office, Washington, D.C. 20402. Please specify stock number 004-000-00345-4 when ordering copies.

This is usually only a minor annoyance and should not be interpreted as a defect of the unit.
