The voltage on the network is classied
as TNV-3 (Telecommunication Network Voltages), as dened in the standard EN

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. An alternative has to be
made available to allow emergency calls.
Do not allow the product to come into contact with
liquids.
Do not use any cleaning agents containing alcohol,
ammonia, benzene, or abrasives as these may harm
the set.
Do not expose the phone to excessive heat caused by
heating equipment or direct sunlight.
Do not drop your phone or allow objects to fall on
your phone.
Active mobile phones in the vicinity may cause
interference.
Warning
The Electrical network is classied 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 always easily accessible.
To avoid damage or malfunction
Caution

the product. This can deteriorate audio quality and
damage the product.
Metallic objects may be retained if placed near or on
the handset receiver.
Do not use the product in places where there are
explosive hazards.
Do not open the handset, base station or charger as
you could be exposed to high voltages.
For pluggable equipment, the socket-outlet shall
be installed near the equipment and shall be easily accessible.
