General DECT Handset Information Guide
Notice on the use of the handsets
Like all cordless telephones, the G266 and G566 DECT handsets
use radio signals, which do not guarantee a connection under all
circumstances. Do not rely exclusively on the DECT handsets
when making indispensable calls (such as medical emergencies).
SOS function
The SOS function of the G266 and G566 does not replace
companion supervision by a colleague or other people. In case of
critical, emergency or life-threatening situations make sure that
other persons are present or that appropriate measures are taken.
