Important Safety Instructions

This product has been designed to assure your personal safety. Improper use can result in potential electrical shock or fire hazards. Carefully observe and comply with all warnings, cautions, and instructions placed on the product, or described in this operating guide.

WARNING! — When using your telephone equipment, these basic safety precautions should always be followed to reduce the risk of fire, electrical shock, and injury to persons:

Instructions — Read, understand, and retain all instructions.

Warnings — Follow all warnings and instructions marked on the product.

Cleaning — Unplug this product from the wall outlet before cleaning, and use a

dry cloth, without liquid or aerosol cleaners.

Water and Moisture — Do not use this product near water; for example, near a bath tub, wash bowl, kitchen sink or laundry tub, in a wet basement, or near a swimming pool.

Placement — Do not place this product on an unstable cart, stand, or table. The telephone may fall, causing serious damage to the unit.

Ventilation — Slots and openings in the cabinet and the back or bottom are provided for ventilation. To protect the product from overheating, these openings must not be blocked or covered. This product should never be placed near or over a radiator or heat register. This product should not be placed in a built-in installation unless proper ventilation is provided.

Important Safety Instructions

Power Sources — This product should be operated only from the type of power source indicated on the marking label. If you are not sure of the type of power supply to your home, consult your dealer or local power company.

Power-Cord Protection — Do not allow anything to rest on the power cord. Do not locate this product where the cord will be damaged by persons walking on it.

Overloading — Do not overload wall outlets and extension cords, as this can result in the risk of fire or electrical shock.

Obstructions — Never push objects of any kind into this product through cabinet slots, as they may 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 product.

Servicing — To reduce the risk of electric shock, do not disassemble this product. Take it to qualified service personnel when service or repair work is required. Opening or removing covers may expose you to dangerous voltages or other risks. Incorrect reassembly can cause electric shock when the appliance is subsequently used.

Damage Requiring Service — Unplug this product from the wall outlet and refer servicing to qualified service personnel under the following conditions: A. When the power supply cord is damaged or frayed. B. If liquid has been spilled into the product. C. If the product has been exposed to rain or water. D. If the product does not operate normally when following the operating

instructions. (Adjust only those controls that are covered by the operating instructions. Improper adjustment of other controls may result in damage and

will often require extensive repair work by a qualified technician.) E. If the product has been dropped or the cabinet has been damaged. F. If the product exhibits a distinct change in performance.

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

Privacy — Cordless telephones are radio devices. Communications between the

handset and base of your cordless telephone are accomplished by means of radio waves which are broadcast over the open airways. Because of the inherent physical properties of radio waves, your communications can be received by radio receiving devices other than your own telephone unit. Consequently, any communications using your cordless telephone may not be private.

About the Internet

The Internet is basically a large group of computers tied together to share information. It started as a military project back in the 1950’s, and has progressed to a stand-alone network of universities and independent sites. The Internet is a huge repository of information, provided by countless millions of people, and covering every subject imaginable.

Your new Email phone allows you to tap into one of the most useful aspects of the Internet. Electronic Mail, or Email for short, is a tool for sending letters and messages to people all over the world via the Internet.

There are two ways you can get on the Internet with your new Email phone. One is to use the automated sign-up feature to set up an account, see page 19. The other is to use an account you already have, called an Internet service provider, to access the Internet, see page 22. There are many different Internet service providers on the market, from small to large. You can find information on how to contact a service provider in most newspapers, computer magazines, and even television commercials.

Again, if you would rather not hassle with setting up an account on your own, just use the automated sign-up feature of your new phone. Whatever you choose to do, it will be an experience well worth the effort. Welcome to the information superhighway, and enjoy!

For assistance in setting up and answering questions about your new Email phone, contact Uniden at 1-888-777-2947 or visit our Web site at http://www.uniden.com.
