Important safety instructions

When using your telephone equipment, basic safety precautions should always be followed
to reduce the risk of fire, electric shock and injur y, 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, nor 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 vicinit y 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 in clude: medical use of ox ygen 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 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.

SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS

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 inter ference.

• 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.

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
Confidentialité : 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 que celles des téléphones à cordons.

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.
