General product care

Taking care of your telephone

Your cordless telephone contains sophisticated
electronic parts, so it must be treated with care.

Avoid rough treatment

Place the handset down gently. Save the original
packing materials to protect your telephone if you
ever need to ship it.

Avoid water

Your telephone can be damaged if it gets wet. Do not
use the handset outdoors in the rain, or handle it with
wet hands. Do not install the telephone base near a
sink, bathtub or shower.

Electrical storms

Electrical storms can sometimes cause power surges
harmful to electronic equipment. For your own safety,
take caution when using electrical appliances during
storms.

Cleaning your telephone

Your telephone has a durable plastic casing that
should retain its luster for many years. Clean it only
with a dry non-abrasive cloth. Do not use dampened
cloth or cleaning solvents of any kind.

Storage

When you are not going to use the handset for
some time, remove the rechargeable battery from
the handset. Store the handset, the charger and the
adapter in a cool and dry place.

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.
Follow all warnings and instructions

marked on the product.
Unplug this product from the wall outlet

before cleaning. Do not use liquid or
aerosol cleaners. Use a dry non-abrasive
cloth for cleaning.

Do not use this product near water such as
near a bath tub, wash bowl, kitchen sink,

basement or shower.

Do not place this product on an unstable
table, shelf, stand or other unstable surfaces.

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.

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.

Do not allow anything to rest on the power
cord. Do not install this product where the
cord may be walked on.

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.

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

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.

Avoid using a telephone (other than
cordless) during an electrical storm. There is
a remote risk 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 wall 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 wall 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.

Only put the handset of your telephone next
to your ear when it is in normal talk mode.

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.

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

The RBRC® seal

The RBRC® seal on the nickel-metal hydride battery
indicates that VTech Communications, Inc. is
voluntarily participating in an industry program to
collect and recycle these batteries at the end of their
useful lives, when taken out of service within the
United States and Canada.

The RBRC® program provides a convenient
alternative to placing used nickel-metal hydride
batteries into the trash or municipal waste, which
may be illegal in your area.

VTech’s participation in RBRC

®

makes it easy for
you to drop off the spent battery at local retailers

N’utilisez pas le téléphone pour rapporter une
fuite de gaz à proximité de la fuite. En certaines
circonstances, une flammèche pourrait être
provoquée lorsque l’adaptateur est branché à
une prise de courant, ou lorsque le combiné
est déposé sur le socle. Ceci est un événement
commun associé à la fermeture d’un circuit
électrique. L’utilisateur ne devrait pas brancher
le téléphone à une prise de courant, et ne
devrait pas déposer le combiné chargé sur le
socle, si le téléphone se trouve à proximité d’un
endroit comportant des concentrations de gaz
inflammables, à moins que la ventilation soit
adéquate. Une flammèche dans un tel endroit
pourrait provoquer un incendie ou une explosion.
De tels environnements peuvent comprendre:
des endroits où l’on utilise de l’oxygène médical
sans ventilation adéquate; des gaz industriels
(dissolvants de nettoyage, des vapeurs
d’essence, etc.); une fuite de gaz naturel, etc.

Ne placez que le combiné de votre téléphone
près de votre oreille lorsqu’en mode de
conversation.

Ces adaptateurs ont été conçus pour être
orientés en position verticale ou montés au sol.
Les broches ne sont pas conçues pour maintenir
l’adaptateur en place si celui-ci est barnché dans
une prise au plafond ou sous une table/ armoire.

MISE EN GARDE : N’utilisez que la pile incluse.

N’ouvrez pas et ne mutilez pas la pile. L’électrolyte
qui s’en échapperait est corrosif et pourrait causer
des brûlures ou des blessures aux yeux ou à la
peau. L’électrolyte est toxique si avalé.
Soyez prudents lorsque vous manipulez les piles
afin d’éviter les courts-circuits provoqués par des
matériaux conducteurs.

Stimulateurs cardiaques implantés dans
l’organisme

Les simulateurs cardiaques (s’applique uniquement
aux téléphones numériques sans fil):

L’organisme ‘Wireless Technology Research, LLC
(WTR)’, une firme de recherche indépendante, a mené
une évaluation pluridisciplinaire des interférences entre
les téléphones sans fil portatifs et les stimulateurs
cardiaques implantés dans l’organisme. Appuyée par
l’Administration des aliments et drogues (FDA) des
États-Unis, la firme WTR recommande aux médecins:

Avis aux détenteurs de stimulateurs cardiaques

Ils doivent tenir le téléphone sans fil à une distance
d’au moins six pouces du stimulateur cardiaque.
Ils ne doivent PAS placer le téléphone sans fil
directement sur le stimulateur cardiaque, tel que
dans une poche de chemise, lorsque celui-ci est en
marche.
Ils doivent utiliser le téléphone sans fil en
l’appuyant sur l’oreille qui se trouve dans la
direction opposée au stimulateur cardiaque.

L’étude effectuée par l’organisme WRS n’a pas
identifié de risque pour les détenteurs de simulateurs
cardiaques causés par les gens qui utilisent un
téléphone sans fil à proximité de ceux-ci.

À propos des téléphones sans fil

Alimentation électrique: Les mêmes

caractéristiques qui constituent des avantages
pour les téléphones sans fil affichent également
des restrictions. Les appels téléphoniques sont
transmis entre le combiné sans fil et le socle par
le biais d’ondes radio ; il y a donc la possibilité que
vos conversations téléphoniques sans fil soient
interceptées par des équipements de réception
radio se trouvant dans la portée du combiné sans fil.
Pour cette raison, vous ne devez pas percevoir les
communications téléphoniques sans fil comme étant
aussi confidentielles.

Alimentation électrique: Le socle de ce téléphone
sans fil doit être branché à une prise électrique
fonctionnelle. La prise électrique ne doit pas être
contrôlée par un interrupteur mural. Les appels ne
pourront pas être effectués du combiné sans fil si
le socle est débranché ou mis hors tension ou si le
courant est coupé.

Possibilité d’interférences aux téléviseurs:
Certains téléphones sans fil fonctionnent sur des
fréquences pouvant causer des interférences aux
téléviseurs et aux magnétoscopes. Pour réduire ou
prévenir de telles interférences, ne placez pas le
socle du téléphone sans fil près ou sur un téléviseur
ou magnétoscope. S’il y a présence de parasites,

•

•

•

•

•

•

il est conseillé d’éloigner le téléphone sans fil du
téléviseur ou du magnétoscope afin de réduire
possiblement les interférences.

Piles rechargeables: Manipulez les piles avec soin
afin de ne pas les court-circuiter avec des bagues,
bracelets ou clés. Les piles ou le conducteur peut
surchauffer et causer des blessures. Respectez la
polarité adéquate entre la pile et le chargeur.

Les bloc-piles rechargeables à l’hydrure
métallique de nickel: Jetez ces blocs-piles de

manière écologique et sécuritaire. Ne les incinérez
pas et ne les percez pas. Tel que les autres piles
de ce type, elles pourraient dégager une matière
toxique qui peut causer des blessures corporelles
si elles sont brûlées ou percées.
