Important safety
instructions
When using your telephone equipment,
basic safety precautions should always
be followed to reduce the risk of fire,
electric shock and injury, including the
following:
1. Read and understand all instructions.
2. Follow all warnings and instructions
marked on the product.
3. Unplug this product from the wall
outlet before cleaning. Do not use
liquid or aerosol cleaners. Use a
damp cloth for cleaning.
4. Do not use this product near water
such as near a bath tub, wash
bowl, kitchen sink, laundry tub or a
swimming pool, or in a wet basement
or shower.
5. Do not place this product on an
unstable table, shelf, stand or other
unstable surfaces.
6. Slots and openings in the back or
bottom of the telephone base and
handset are provided for ventilation.
To protect them from overheating,
these openings must not be blocked
by placing the product on a soft
surface such as a bed, sofa or rug.
This product should never be placed
near or over a radiator or heat
register. This product should not be
placed in any area where proper
ventilation is not provided.
7. 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 in your home or office, consult
your dealer or local power company.
8. Do not allow anything to rest on
the power cord. Do not install this
product where the cord may be
walked on.
9. Never push objects of any kind into
this product through the slots in the
telephone base or handset because
they may touch dangerous voltage
points or create a short circuit. Never
spill liquid of any kind on the product.
10. To reduce the risk of electric shock,
do not disassemble this product,
but take it to an authorized service
facility. Opening or removing parts of
the telephone base or handset other
than specified access doors may
expose you to dangerous voltages or
other risks. Incorrect reassembling
can cause electric shock when the
product is subsequently used.
11. Do not overload wall outlets and
extension cords.
12. Unplug this product from the wall
outlet and refer servicing to an
authorized service facility under the
following conditions:
• When the power supply cord or
plug is damaged or frayed.
• If liquid has been spilled onto the
product.
• If the product has been exposed to
rain or water.
• If the product does not operate
normally by following the operating
instructions. Adjust only those
controls that are covered by the
operation instructions. Improper
adjustment of other controls
may result in damage and often
requires extensive work by an
authorized technician to restore
the product to normal operation.
• If the product has been dropped
and the telephone base and/or
handset has been damaged.
• If the product exhibits a distinct
change in performance.
13. Avoid using a telephone (other than
cordless) during an electrical storm.
There is a remote risk of electric
shock from lightning.
14. 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.
15. Only put the handset of your
telephone next to your ear when it is
in normal talk mode.
16. 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-thetable or cabinet outlet.
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
Battery
• CAUTION: Use Only Supplied Battery.
• Do not dispose of the battery in a fire.
Check with local waste management
codes for special disposal instructions.
• Do not open or mutilate the battery.
Released electrolyte is corrosive and
may cause burns or injury to the eyes
or skin. The electrolyte may be toxic if

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.
About cordless telephones
• Privacy: The same features that
make a cordless telephone convenient
create some limitations. Telephone
calls are transmitted between the
telephone base and the cordless
handset by radio waves, so there is a
possibility that the cordless telephone
conversations could be intercepted
by radio receiving equipment within
range of the cordless handset. For
this reason, you should not think of
cordless telephone conversations as
being as private as those on corded
telephones.
• Electrical power: The telephone
base of this cordless telephone 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 cordless
handset if the telephone base is
unplugged, switched off or if the
electrical power is interrupted.
• Potential TV interference: Some
cordless telephones operate
at frequencies that may cause
interference to televisions and
VCRs. To minimize or prevent
such interference, do not place
the telephone base of the cordless
telephone near or on top of a TV or
VCR. If interference is experienced,
moving the cordless telephone farther
away from the TV or VCR often
reduces or eliminates the interference.
• Rechargeable batteries: Exercise
care in handling batteries in order
not to create a short circuit with
conducting 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 the battery. Like other
batteries of this type, if burned or
punctured, they could release caustic
material which could cause injury.
