Getting started
This symbol is to alert you to important operating or servicing instructions
that may appear in this user’s manual. Always follow basic safety precautions
Safety information
fRead and understand all instructions in the user’s manual. Observe all markings on
the product.
fAvoid using a telephone during a thunderstorm. There may be a slight chance of
electric shock from lightning.
fDo not use a telephone in the vicinity of a gas 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. In an inadequately ventilated environment,
the user should not plug the phone into a power outlet, nor put a charged
Such environments might include: medical use of oxygen without adequate
ventilation; industrial gases (cleaning solvents; gasoline vapors; etc.); a leak of natural
gas; etc.
fDo not use this product near water or when you are wet. For example, do not use
it in a wet basement or shower, nor next to a swimming pool, bathtub, kitchen sink
and laundry tub. Do not use liquids or aerosol sprays for cleaning. If the product
comes in contact with any liquid, unplug any line or power cord immediately. Do not
plug the product back in until it has dried thoroughly.
fInstall this product in a protected location where no one can trip over any line or
power cords. Protect cords from damage or abrasion.
f If this product does not operate normally, see the Troubleshooting section
on pages 136-147 of this user’s manual. If you cannot solve the problem,
or if the product is damaged, refer to the Limited warranty section on
pages 157-159. Do not open this product except as directed in your user’s
manual. Opening the product or reassembling it incorrectly may expose you to
hazardous voltages or other risks.
f Replace batteries only as described in your user’s manual (pages 13-15). Do
not burn or puncture batteries — they contain caustic chemicals.

fFor pluggable equipment, the socket-outlet shall be installed near the equipment
and shall be easily accessible.

fThe applied nameplate is located at the bottom or near of the product.
Especially about cordless telephones
fPrivacy: The same features that make a cordless telephone convenient create
some limitations. Telephone calls are transmitted between the telephone base and
the handset by radio waves, so there is a possibility that your 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.
fElectrical power: The telephone base of this cordless telephone must be
connected to a working electrical outlet which is not controlled by a wall switch.
Calls cannot be made from the handset if the telephone base is unplugged,
fPotential TV interference: Some cordless telephones operate at frequencies that
may cause interference to TVs 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
fRechargeable batteries: This product contains nickel-metal hydride rechargeable
batteries. Exercise care in handling batteries in order not to create a short
circuit with conductive 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.
fNickel-metal hydride rechargeable batteries: Dispose of these batteries in a safe
manner. Do not burn or puncture. 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:
fShould keep wireless telephones at least six inches from the pacemaker.
fShould NOT place wireless telephones directly over the
pacemaker, such as in a breast pocket, when it is turned ON.
fShould 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.
ECO mode
This power conserving technology reduces power consumption for optimal battery
performance. The ECO mode activates automatically whenever the handset is syn-
chronized with the telephone base.
