IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
To reduce the risk of fire, electric shock and/or injury, always follow these
basic safety precautions when using your cordless telephone equipment.

1. Read and understand all instructions.

2. Follow all warnings and instructions marked on the telephone.

3. Do not use this telephone near a bathtub, wash bowl, kitchen sink, or laundry tub, in a

wet basement, near a swimming pool, or anywhere else where there is water.

4. Avoid using a telephone (other than a cordless type) during an electrical storm. There
may be a remote risk of electric shock from lightning.

5. Do not use the telephone to report a gas leak in the vicinity of the leak.

6. Use only the power cord and BATTERY PACK indicated in the Owner’s Manual. Do not

dispose of the BATTERY PACK in a fire. The BATTERY PACK may explode. Check with
local codes for possible special disposal instructions.

7. Operate this telephone using the electrical voltage as stated on the BASE UNIT or in the
Owner’s Manual. If you are not sure of the voltage in your home, consult your dealer or
local power company.

8. Unplug this telephone from the wall outlet before cleaning or replacing the BATTERY
PACK. Do not use liquid cleaners or aerosol cleaners on the telephone. Use a damp cloth
for cleaning.

9. Place this telephone on a stable surface. Serious damage and/or injury may result if the
telephone falls.

10. Do not cover the slots and openings on this telephone. This telephone should never be
placed near or over a radiator or heat register. This telephone should not be placed in a
built-in installation unless proper ventilation is provided.

11. Do not place anything on the power cord. Install the telephone where no one will step or
trip on the cord.

12. Do not overload wall outlets or extension cords as this can increase the risk of fire or
electric shock.

13. Never push any objects through the slots in the telephone. They could touch dangerous
voltage points or short out parts that could result in a risk of fire or electric shock. Never
spill liquid of any kind on the telephone.

14. To reduce the risk of electric shock, do not take this telephone apart. If service or repair
work is required on this telephone, take it to a qualified service representative.
Opening or removing covers may expose you to dangerous voltage or other
risks. Incorrect reassembly can cause electric shock when the appliance is
subsequently used.

Safety Instructions

Adjust only those controls that are covered by the operating instructions. Improper
adjustment may require extensive work by a qualified technician to restore the

Battery Safety

CAUTION:
Danger of explosion if BATTERY PACK is incorrectly replaced. Replace only
with the same or equivalent type. To reduce the risk of fire or personal
injury, read and follow these instructions:

1. Use only the following type and size of BATTERY PACK:

3.6V, 600mAh Rechargeable Ni-MH BATTERY PACK

2. Do not dispose of the BATTERY PACK in a fire. It may explode. Check with local codes for

possible special disposal instructions.

3. Do not open or mutilate the BATTERY PACK. Released electrolyte from a BATTERY PACK

is corrosive and may cause damage to the eyes or skin. Electrolyte may be toxic if
swallowed.

4. Exercise care in handling the BATTERY PACK to prevent shorting the BATTERY PACK

with conductive materials such as rings, bracelets and keys. The BATTERY PACK or
conductor may overheat and cause burns.

5. Charge the BATTERY PACK provided with (or identified for use with) this telephone only

in accordance with the instructions and limitations specified in this manual.

6. Observe proper polarity orientation between the BATTERY PACK and BATTERY

CHARGER.

SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS

ATTENTION:

The telephone that you have purchased contains a rechargeable BATTERY PACK. The
BATTERY PACK is recyclable. At the end of its useful life, under various state and local
laws, it may be illegal to dispose of this BATTERY PACK into the municipal waste stream.
Check with your local solid waste officials for details in your area for recycling options or
proper disposal.
