Regulatory and safety information
Read the following information before you use the NEC Philips
G955 DECT Handset.
Product disposal information
This device complies with the essential requirements and other relevant
provisions of the R&TTE Directive 1999/5/EC, the Restriction of
Hazardous Substances (RoHS) 2002/95/EC, and the WEEE Directive
2002/95/EC.
For countries in the European Union
The symbol depicted here has been affixed to your
product in order toinform you that electrical and electronic
products should not be disposed of as municipal waste.
Electrical and electronic products, including the cables,
plugs and accessories should be disposed of separately
in order to allow proper treatment, recorvery and
recycling. These products should be taken to a
designated facility where the best available treatment, recovery and
recycling techniques are available. Separate disposal has significant
advantages: valuable materials can be reused and it prevents the
dispersion of unwanted substances into the municipal wast stream. This
contributes to the protection of the human health and of the environment.
Please be informed that a fine may be imposed for illegal disposal of
electrical and electronic products via general municipal waste stream.
CAUTION
Like all cordless telephones, this handset uses radio
signals, which do not guarantee a connection under all
circumstances. Do not rely exclusively on cordless
telephones when making indispensable calls (such as
medical emergencies).

Introduction
11
In order to facilitate separate disposal and environmentally sound
recycling, arrangements have been made for local collection and
recycling. In case your electrical and electronic products need to be
disposed of please refer to your supplier or the contractual agreements
that your company has made upon acquisition of these products.
At www.nec-philips.com/weee you can find information about separate
disposal and evironmentally sound recycling.
For countries outside the European Union
Disposal of electrical and electronic products in countries outside the
European Union should be done in line with the local regulations. If no
arrangement has been made with your supplier, please contact the local
authorities for further information.
Battery information
Defect or exhausted batteries should never be disposed of as municipal
waste. Return old batteries to the battery supplier, a licensed battery
dealer or a designated collection facility. Do not incinerate batteries.
This product uses Lithium-Ion batteries 3.7V, 650mAh. Only use the
batteries that come with the handset or dedicated spare batteries marked
with “Battery Pack for G355/G955”. Do not use any other type
For battery replacement or removal instructions please refer to the related
chapter in this manual: “Installing the battery pack” (page 14).
Use the batteries only as directed. Heat or cold batteries reduce the
performance and service life of the battery. Handsets with hot or cold
batteries can become temporarily out-of-service, even if the batteries are
fully charged.
Charge the batteries only with the G355/955 Desktop Charger supplied
with the handset. Alternatively the G355/955 Charger Rack can be used
to charge the batteries. Do not charge the batteries by any other means.
Do not replace the batteries in potentially explosive environments, such
as rooms where flammable liquids or gasses are present.

Introduction

Equipment interference
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 chanes for interference are very small. Research proves that
operational DECT phones normally don’t influence electronic equipment
e.g., sensitive labaratory 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 10 cm) to this kind of equipment, even in standby mode.
Please also use the other documentation supplied with the various parts
of your telephone system.
Safety precautions
Observe the following safety precautions before you use your handset.
CAUTION
Modifications to this equipment not approved by NEC
Philips can make this equipment noncompliant with the

the battery, shake out excess liquid from the handset,
and let it dry for 72 hours at room temperature.
