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 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. 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.

7. 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.

8. 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.

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

10. 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.

11. 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.

12. Do not overload wall outlets and extension cords.

13. 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.

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, under-the-table or cabinet outlet

18. For pluggable equipment, the socket-outlet shall be installed near the equipment and shall be easily accessible.

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.

Operating range

This cordless telephone operates with the maximum power allowed by the Federal Communications Commission (FCC). Even so, this handset and telephone base can communicate over only a certain distance - which can vary with the locations of the telephone base and handset, the weather, and the layout of your home or ofﬁce.

When the handset is out of range, the handset displays Out of range or and no pwr at base alternately.

If there is a call while the handset is out of range, it may not ring, or if it does ring, the call may not connect well when you press /HOME or /CELL. Move closer to the telephone base, and then press /HOME or /CELL to answer the call. If the handset moves out of range during a telephone conversation, there may be interference. To improve reception, move closer to the telephone base.

Bluetooth

Your new DS6621/DS662V telephone system with Bluetooth wireless technology has the following features:

• Pair and connect up to a maximum of two cell phones with the telephone base to make and receive cell calls. Only one cell phone can be active on a call at a time.

• Make and receive calls using your cell phone plan while utilizing the ease and comfort of your home telephone system.

• Receive phonebook entries from your cell phone.

IMPORTANT INFORMATION

• Refer to the user's manual of your Bluetooth enabled cell phone for more information about how that device uses Bluetooth connectivity.

• Bluetooth wireless technology operates within a short range (a maximum of approximately 30 feet) from the telephone base. Keep connected cell phones within this range. For optimal performance, keep your cell phone within 15 feet of the telephone base while using the DS6621/DS662V cell line.

• If your cell phone has poor reception in your home, the DS6621/DS662V cannot improve the reception. However, if there is a location in your house with better reception, you can leave your cell phone at that location while using the DS6621/DS662V cell line.

• If you experience poor sound quality, place your cell phone closer to the DS6621/DS662V to ensure strong Bluetooth signal strength. Make sure there are no physical obstacles between the DS6621/DS662V and the cell phone, such as large furniture or thick walls.

• Charge your cell phone while it is connected to the telephone base. Your cell phone's battery will discharge faster while it is connected to the telephone base via Bluetooth wireless technology.

• Monitor your cell phone's usage because minutes are deducted from your cellular plan for the duration of all cell calls.

Refer to Bluetooth setup to learn how to set up and manage your Bluetooth enabled devices. Refer to Telephone operation on how to operate your Bluetooth devices with your new DS6621/DS662V telephone system with Bluetooth wireless technology.
