Afin de réduire les risques d’incendie, de blessures corporelles ou d’électrocution, suivez toujours ces mesures préventives de base lorsque vous utilisez votre téléphone :

Lisez et comprenez bien toutes les

instructions. Observez toutes les instructions et mises en

garde inscrites sur l’appareil. Débranchez ce téléphone de la prise murale

avant de le nettoyer. N’utilisez pas de nettoyeurs liquides ni en aérosol. N’utilisez qu’un chiffon doux et légèrement humecté.

N’utilisez pas ce produit près de l’eau, tel

que près d’un bain, d’un lavabo, d’un évier de cuisine, d’un bac de lavage ou d’une piscine, ou dans un sous-sol humide ou sous la douche.

Ne déposez pas ce téléphone sur un chariot,

support ou table chancelants. L’appareil pourrait tomber et être sérieusement endommagé.

Le boîtier de l’appareil est doté de fentes et

d’ouvertures d’aération situées à l’arrière ou en dessous. Afin d’empêcher la surchauffe, ces ouvertures ne doivent pas être obstruées en plaçant l’appareil sur un lit, divan, tapis ou autre surface similaires. Ne placez pas cet appareil à proximité d’un élément de chauffage ni d’une plinthe électrique. De plus, ne l’installez pas dans une unité murale ou un cabinet fermé qui ne possède pas d’aération adéquate.

Ne faites fonctionner cet appareil qu’avec le

type d’alimentation indiqué sur les étiquettes de l’appareil. Si vous ne connaissez pas le voltage de votre maison, consultez votre marchand ou votre fournisseur d’électricité.

Ne déposez rien sur le cordon d’alimentation.

8. Installez cet appareil dans un endroit sécuritaire, là où personne ne pourra trébucher sur la ligne d’alimentation ni le cordon téléphonique modulaire.

N’insérez jamais d’objets à travers les

9. fentes et ouvertures de cet appareil, car ils pourraient toucher à des points de tension dangereux ou court-circuiter des pièces, ce qui constituerait un risque d’incendie ou d’électrocution. N’échappez pas de liquides dans l’appareil.

Afin de réduire les risques d’électrocution,

10. ne démontez pas l’appareil, mais apportez-le plutôt à un centre de service qualifié s’il doit être réparé. En enlevant le couvercle, vous vous exposez à des tensions dangereuses ou autres dangers similaires. Un remontage inadéquat peut être à l’origine d’une électrocution lors d’une utilisation ultérieure de l’appareil. Débranchez l’appareil avant de procéder au nettoyage. Utilisez un chiffon humide et doux.

Ne surchargez pas les prises de courant et

11. les rallonges.

Débranchez cet appareil de la prise

12. de courant et communiquez avec le département de service à la clientèle de VTech dans les cas suivants:

Lorsque le cordon d’alimentation est

endommagé ou écorché. Si du liquide a été échappé dans

•

l’appareil. Si l’appareil a été exposé à une source

•

d’humidité telle que la pluie ou l’eau. Si le produit ne fonctionne pas

14. 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.

15. 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.

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:

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 au

lithium-ion: 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.
