handset because they may touch dangerous
voltage points or create a short circuit.
Never spill liquid of any kind on the product.

10. 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 charger or handset
other than specified access doors may
expose you to dangerous voltages or
other risks. Incorrect reassembling can

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

The RBRC® program provides a convenient
alternative to placing used nickel-metal hydride

Mesures de sécurité importantes

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 :

1. Lisez et comprenez bien toutes les
instructions.

2. Observez toutes les instructions et mises en
garde inscrites sur l’appareil.

3. 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.

4. 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.

5. Ne déposez pas ce téléphone sur un chariot,
support ou table chancelants. L’appareil
pourrait tomber et être sérieusement
endommagé.

6. 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.

7. 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.

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

9. N’insérez jamais d’objets à travers les
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.

10. Afin de réduire les risques d’électrocution,
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.

11. Ne surchargez pas les prises de courant et les
rallonges.

12. Débranchez cet appareil de la prise
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

normalement en respectant les
instructions de fonctionnement.
Réglez uniquement les commandes
indiquées dans le les instructions de
fonctionnement. Les réglages incorrects
des autres commandes pourraient
provoquer un dommage qui pourrait
exiger un travail exhaustif de la part d’un
technicien autorisé afin de rétablir le
fonctionnement normal de l’appareil.

• Si le produit a été échappé et que le socle

et/ou le combiné a été endommagé.

• Si le produit affiche une nette diminution

de sa performance.

13. Évitez d’utiliser un téléphone (autre qu’un
sans fil) pendant un orage. Les éclairs
peuvent être à l’origine d’une électrocution.

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

16. 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.

CONSERVEZ CES INSTRUCTIONS

Pile

• MISE EN GARDE : N’utilisez que la pile

incluse.

• Ne jetez pas la pile au feu. Vérifiez les

instructions spécifiques de mise aux rebus
auprès des autorités locales.

• 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.

• Rechargez la pile incluse avec cet appareil,

selon les instructions et limites spécifiées
dans ce guide d’utilisation.

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 l

• Condentialité : 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.
