Important safety information

This symbol is to alert you to important operating or servicing instructions that may appear in this user’s manual. Always follow basic safety precautions when using this product to reduce the risk of injury, ﬁre, or electric shock.

Safety information

• Read and understand all instructions in the user’s manual. Observe all markings on

the product.

• Avoid using a telephone during a thunderstorm. There may be a slight chance of electric shock

from lightning.

• Do not use the telephone to report a gas leak in the vicinity of the leak. Under certain

circumstances, a spark may be created when the adapter is plugged into the power outlet, or when the handset is replaced in its cradle. This is a common event associated with the closing of any electrical circuit. The user should not plug the phone into a power outlet, and should not put a charged handset into the cradle, if the phone is located in an environment containing concentrations of ﬂammable or ﬂame-supporting gases, unless there is adequate ventilation. A spark in such an environment could create a ﬁre or explosion. Such environments might include: medical use of oxygen without adequate ventilation; industrial gases (cleaning solvents; gasoline vapors; etc.); a leak of natural gas; etc.

• Do not use this product near water, or when you are wet. For example, do not use it in a wet

basement or shower, or next to a swimming pool, bathtub, kitchen sink, or laundry tub. Do not use liquids or aerosol sprays for cleaning. If the product comes in contact with any liquid, unplug any line or power cord immediately. Do not plug the product back in until it has dried thoroughly.

• Avoid placing the telephone system in places with extreme temperature, direct sunlight, or other

electrical devices. Protect your phone from moisture, dust, corrosive liquids and fumes.

• Install this product in a protected location where no one can trip over any line or power cords.

Protect cords from damage or abrasion.

• If this product does not operate normally, see the Troubleshooting section on pages 70-73 of this

user’s manual. If you cannot solve the problem, or if the product is damaged, refer to the Limited warranty section on pages 80-81. Do not open this product except as directed in your user’s manual.

Opening the product or reassembling it incorrectly may expose you to hazardous voltages or other risks.

• This power adapter is intended to be correctly oriented in a vertical or ﬂoor mount position. The

prongs are not designed to hold the plug in place if it is plugged into a ceiling, an under-the-table or cabinet outlet.

• For PLUGGABLE EQUIPMENT, the socket-outlet shall be installed near the equipment and shall

be easily accessible.

Caution:

• Use only the power adapter provided with this product. To obtain a replacement,

visit our website at www.vtechphones.com or call 1 (800) 595-9511. In Canada, dial 1 (800) 267-7377.

• Use only the supplied rechargeable battery or replacement battery (model BT266342).

To order a replacement battery, visit our website at www.vtechphones.com or call 1 (800) 595-9511. In Canada, dial 1 (800) 267-7377.

Dispose of used batteries according to the instructions.

Important safety information

Especially about cordless telephones

• Electrical power: The deskset must be connected to a working electrical outlet. The electrical

outlet should not be controlled by a wall switch. Calls cannot be made from the handset if the deskset is unplugged, switched off or if the electrical power is interrupted.

• Power adapter: The power adapter is intended to be correctly oriented in a vertical or ﬂoor mount

position. The prongs are not designed to hold the plug in place if it is plugged into a ceiling, under-the-table or cabinet outlet.

• Rechargeable batteries: This product contains nickel-metal hydride rechargeable batteries.

Exercise care in handling batteries in order not to create a short circuit with conductive material such as rings, bracelets, and keys. The battery or conductor may overheat and cause harm. Observe proper polarity between the battery and the battery charger.

• Nickel-metal hydride rechargeable batteries: Dispose of these batteries in a safe manner. Do

not burn or puncture. Like other batteries of this type, if burned or punctured, they could release caustic material which could cause injury.

The RBRC® Seal means that the manufacturer is voluntarily participating in an industry program to collect and recycle nickel-metal hydride rechargeable batteries when taken out of service within the United States. These batteries may be taken to a participating local retailer of replacement batteries or recycling center. You may call 1 (800) 8-BATTERY® for locations accepting spent Ni-MH batteries.

Precautions for users of implanted cardiac pacemakers

Cardiac pacemakers (applies only to digital cordless telephones): Wireless Technology Research, LLC (WTR), an independent research entity, led a multidisciplinary

evaluation of the interference between portable wireless telephones and implanted cardiac pacemakers. Supported by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration, WTR recommends to physicians that:

Pacemaker patients

• Should keep wireless telephones at least six inches from the pacemaker.

• Should NOT place wireless telephones directly over the pacemaker, such as in a breast pocket, when it is turned ON.

• Should use the wireless telephone at the ear opposite the pacemaker.

WTR’s evaluation did not identify any risk to bystanders with pacemakers from other persons using wireless telephones.

Especially about telephone answering systems

Two-way recording: This unit does not sound warning beeps to inform the other party that the call is being recorded. To ensure that you are in compliance with any federal or state regulations regarding recording a telephone call, you should start the recording process and then inform the other party that you are recording the conversation.
