• Do not open or mutilate the battery. Released electrolyte is corrosive and may cause burns or injury to the eyes or skin. The electrolyte may be toxic if swallowed. • Exercise care in handling batteries in order not to create a short circuit with conductive materials. • Charge the battery provided with this product only in accordance with the instructions and limitations specified in this manual. 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.

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.
