Notice to the user
The DECT handset described in this manual should only be used in combination with DECT systems
delivered by NEC. In order to take advantage of all features described in this manual the country and
network provider specific features should match the features of the NEC system.
Important safety information
The mains voltage of the power adaptor should match the local mains voltage, which must be in the
range of 100-240Vac. Check if both voltages match before installing the charger and adaptor.
Only use adaptor and battery pack that is supplied with the package.
Use only supplied charging cradle for recharging the handset batteries.
Do not disassemble this product, it contains no user-serviceable parts.
In case of a thunderstorm, it is advised to disconnect the power adaptor.
Do not expose this product to dust, strong sunlight, humidity, high temperature or mechanical shock.
Do not use corrosive or abrasive cleansers on this product. Keep the unit dust free by wiping it with a
soft, dry cloth.
Sensitive Electronic Environment
Any radio-based equipment can potentially cause interference with other equipment and can be
interfered from other equipment. This also applies for DECT equipment. However due to the very low
transmission power level the chances for interference are very small. Research proves that
operational DECT phones normally don't influence electronic equipment however some precautions
must be taken into account for sensitive electronic equipment e.g. sensitive laboratory equipment.
When DECT phones operate in straight nearness of sensitive electronic equipment incidental
influence can appear. You are advised not to place the DECT phone on or close (less than 10cm) to
this kind of equipment, even in standby mode. Please also use the other documentation supplied with
the various parts of your telephone system.
