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:
Read and understand all instructions.
1.
Follow all warnings and instructions
2.
marked on the product.
Unplug this product from the wall
3.
outlet before cleaning. Do not use
liquid or aerosol cleaners. Use a
damp cloth for cleaning.
Do not use this product near water
4.
such as near a bath tub, wash bowl,
kitchen sink, laundry tub or swimming
pool, or in a wet basement or shower.
Do not place this product on an
5.
unstable table, shelf, stand or other
unstable surfaces.
Avoid placing the telephone system
6.
in places with extreme temperature,
direct sunlight, or other electrical
devices. Protect your phone from
moisture, dust, corrosive liquids and
fumes.
Slots and openings in the back or
7.
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.
This product should be operated
8.
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.
Do not allow anything to rest on
9.
the power cord. Do not install this
product where the cord may be
walked on.
Never push objects of any kind into
10.
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.
To reduce the risk of electric shock,
11.
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.
Do not overload wall outlets and
12.
extension cords.
Unplug this product from the wall
13.
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.
14. Avoid using a telephone (other than
cordless) during an electrical storm.
There is a remote risk of electric
shock from lightning.
15. 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.
16. Only put the handset of your
telephone next to your ear when it is
in normal talk mode.
17. The power adapters are 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, underthe-table 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
swallowed.
Exercise care in handling batteries in
•
order not to create a short circuit with
conductive materials.
Charge the battery provided with this
•
product only in accordance with the
instructions and limitations specified in
this manual.
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.
