Safety Information (57i CT and handset)
Safety Information (57i CT and handset)
Prior to installing and using the 57i CT and handset, please read the
following important safety information.
Warning: Any changes or modifications not expressly approved by
the party responsible for compliance could void the user’s authority
to operate the equipment.
Warning: This equipment complies with FCC and IC RF radiation
exposure limits set forth for an uncontrolled environment. This
device must be operated such that; a minimum separation distance of at
least 20cm is maintained between the radiator (antenna) & user’s/nearby
people’s body at all times and it must not be co-located or operating in
conjunction with any other antenna or transmitter.
Handset and Base Station
DO NOT:
• Use this handset near medical equipment such as pacemakers.
• Place the handset in areas subject to explosive hazards, flammable liq-
uids or gases.
• Set up and use the handset close to devices that emit electromagnetic
fields (i.e. electric motors, household appliances, fluorescent lamps,
computers, radios, televisions, VCR’s, DVD’s etc.) Operation of the
handset could be adversely affected if exposed to such fields and, at
minimum, subject to interference and poorer quality voice communica-
tion.
• Locate the handset and base station near water, moisture, damp areas,
heat sources, direct sunlight, areas with excessive dust, vibration or tem-
perature extremes.
• Clean the handset using any chemical or commercial cleaner. Use only
an anti-static or soft moistened cloth to clean the handset. Disconnect
the charger stand prior to cleaning.
Note: Privacy of communications may not be ensured when using this phone. The
base station transmitter, which is built in to the desk phone, must be installed
to provide a separation distance of at least 20 cm from all persons.
Batteries
Please observe the following guidelines when dealing with the batteries:
• Never tamper with or dismantle the battery pack
• Avoid touching the battery contacts
• If necessary, clean the contacts with a damp cloth
• Protect the battery contacts from contact with any metal objects
• Never immerse batteries in water or throw them into a fire

4Model 57i CT IP Phone Installation Guide
Safety Information (57i CT and handset)
When setting up the phone:
• Use only the rechargeable batteries supplied with this product
• Follow the battery installation instructions included with this guide
Note: That it takes two to three charging cycles for the batteries to reach their fully
charged state.
• Charge the batteries using only the charger stand supplied with this
product
In operation:
• It is normal for the batteries to become warm when charging.
• Discharge the batteries from time to time to prolong their service life.
To do this, do not place the phone back into the charger stand until the
batteries are completely or almost completely discharged. The battery
icon on the display will indicate when the batteries are low and an alert
tone is sounded every three minutes.
• Only use batteries and charging units approved by the manufacturer.
• If you do not intend to use the phone for an extended period, the batter-
ies should be removed from the handset.
• Store batteries at room temperature. Above average temperatures tend
to reduce the service life of batteries.
• Do not throw away or incinerate used batteries. Take them to an
appropriate collection point for recycling or send them back to your sup-
plier or distributor.
The batteries included with the 57i CT handset are designed to provide up
to four hours talk time and ninety six hours standby time. Actual battery
performance can be affected by a wide variety of environmental and user
factors.
