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.

CAUTION

: Do not install the telephone base

at a height above 2 meters.

5.

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.

6.

Do not place this product on an unstable

table, shelf, stand or other unstable surfaces.

7.

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.

8.

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.

9.

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.

10.

Do not allow anything to rest on the power

cord. Do not install this product where the

cord may be walked on.

11.

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.

12.

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.

13.

Do not overload wall outlets and extension

cords.

14.

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.

15.

Avoid using a telephone (other than

cordless) during an electrical storm. There is

a remote risk of electric shock from lightning.

16.

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.

17.

Only put the handset of your telephone next

to your ear when it is in normal talk mode.

18.

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.

19.

For pluggable equipment, the socket-outlet

shall be installed near the equipment and

shall be easily accessible.

20.

CAUTION

: Use only the batteries

indicated in this manual. There may be a

risk of explosion if a wrong type of battery

is used for the handset. Use only the

supplied rechargeable batteries or

replacement batteries (BT162342/

BT262342) for the handset. Do not dispose

of batteries in a fire. They may explode.

conditions:

»

High or low extreme temperature

during use, storage or

transportation.

»

Replacement of a battery with an

incorrect type that can defeat a

safeguard.

»

Disposal of a battery into fire or a

hot oven, or mechanically crushing

or cutting of a battery, that can

result in an explosion.

»

Leaving a batteryin an extremely

high temperature surrounding

environment that can result in

an explosion or the leakage of

flammable liquid or gas.

»

A battery subjected to extremely

low air pressure that can result in

an explosion or the leakage of

flammable liquid or gas.

21.

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.
