Warnings
Do not use your telephone during an electrical storm or
thunderstorm, as it is possible to receive an electric shock.
The earpiece of the handset may attract small metal objects such
as staples and pins. Care should be taken when placing the
handset near these items.
Before installing or changing the batteries make sure that the
telephone is not connected to the telephone network or the mains
power supply.
All batteries should be replaced at the same time. Mixing fresh
and discharged batteries could increase internal cell pressure
and rupture the discharged batteries.
When inserting batteries into this telephone, observe the proper
polarity and direction. Failure may result in leakage or explosion.
Remove the batteries from this telephone if the telephone will not
be used for a long time (several months or more). During this
time the batteries could leak and cause damage to the telephone.
Temperature and ambient conditions: The telephone is designed
for indoor use (temperature range of -10°C to 50°C). Do not
install the telephone in areas where there is the risk of an
explosion, excessive exposure to smoke, dust, vibrations,
chemicals, moisture, and heat. The unit must not be installed in
damp locations such as a bathroom or laundry, do not expose the
unit to direct sunlight.
The surface of the case can be cleaned with a dry, soft, lint-free
cloth. Never use cleaning agents, particularly aggressive solvents.
Apart from occasional cleaning of the case, no other care is
necessary. The rubber feet of the base station are not resistant to
all cleaning agents. The telephone feet do not normally leave any
marks on the surface. However, on account of the multitude of
varnishes and surface finishes used, surface marks caused by
the feet of the unit cannot be ruled out.
