8 WARNINGS AND USER TIPS

8.1 INSTALLATION:

* Only connect/disconnect the telephone wire with/from the

telephone when the telephone plug is removed from the

wall socket.
* Never install the telephone during thunder storms.
* Never install telephone connecting terminals in wet or

moist environments.
* Never touch non-insulated telephone wires unless

disconnected from the telephone network

8.2 PLACEMENT:

* The phone is powered by a power adapter. A 230 Volt

mains socket shall be available at the location where the

phone is placed.
* Preferably, do not place the device on surfaces that have

been treated with cellulose; the rubber feet can leave

traces on these.
* Do not place the phone in the direct vicinity of other

phones or other electronic (medical) devices, TL tubes

and other gas discharge lamps; The emitted radio waves

of these products may interfere with the receipt of the

alarm signal of the remote control.

8.3 POWER OUTAGE & BATTERIES:

* During a power outage or when disconnecting the

adaptor from the wall socket, the telephone is fully

powered by the 4 batteries you can install in the bottom

of the phone (see paragraph 1.1).

* If you don’t install any batteries, you will NOT be able to

use the telephone during a power outage.

* The memories are stored in ash memory chips that don’t

require any backup power supply. This means that these

memories will not be deleted in case of a power outage

and no batteries are installed; however, you’ll need to set
the time again.

8.4 SYSTEM ERROR:

* In case of a possible system error, disconnect the power

adaptor and telephone line from the telephone and

remove the batteries. Wait for at least 20 minutes and
then connect everything again (see also the previous
page, item ‘Power outage’).

* When in doubt, connect a different telephone to your

telephone wall socket to determine whether the problem
is caused by your telephone, the connection or the

telephone service provider.

* If you cannot solve the problem, please contact the

PROFOON customer service at phone number
073-6411355 or the supplier of this telephone.
