SECTION 1IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
When using the telephone equipment, basic safety precautions should always be
followed to reduce the risk of fire, electrical shock, and injury to persons, including the
following:
TRead and understand all instructions.
TFollow all warnings and instructions marked on the product.
TDo not use this product near water; for example, near a sink or in a wet area.
TDo not place this product on an unstable cart, stand, or table. The telephone can
fall, causing serious damage to the unit.
TTo protect the product from overheating, do not block or cover any slots or
openings in the base unit. This product should never be placed near or over a
radiator or heat register. This product should not be placed in a built-in
installation unless the proper ventilation is provided.
TThis product should be operated only from the type of power source indicated
on the marking label.
TDo not allow anything to rest on the power cord. Do not locate this product
where the cord will be damaged by people walking on it.
TDo not overload wall outlets and extension cords, as this can result in the risk of
fire or electrical shock.
TNever push objects of any kind into this product through the base unit slots, as
they may touch dangerous voltage points or short out parts that could result in a
risk of fire or electrical shock. Never spill liquid of any kind on the product.
TTo reduce the risk of electric shock, do not disassemble this product. Contact
qualified service personnel when some service or repair work is required.
Opening or removing covers may expose you to dangerous voltages or other
risks. Incorrect reassembly can cause electric shock when the appliance is
subsequently used.

Document Revision 1 Dterm Cordless DECT
Unplug this product from the wall outlet and refer servicing to qualified service
personnel under the following conditions:
TWhen the power supply cord is damaged or frayed.
TIf liquid has been spilled onto the product.
TIf the product has been exposed to water or rain.
TIf the product does not operate normally when following the operating

instructions. Improper adjustment of other controls can result in damage, and
will often require extensive work by a qualified technician to restore the product
to normal operation.
TIf the product has been dropped, or the cabinet has been damaged.
TIf the product exhibits a distinct change in performance.
SECTION 2IMPORTANT ELECTRICAL CONSIDERATIONS
Do not attempt to unplug any appliance during an electrical storm.
Unplug all electrical appliances when you know an electrical storm is approaching.
Lightning can pass through your household wiring and damage any device connected
to it. This repeater is no exception.
Changes or modifications to this product not expressly approved by NEC Unified
Solutions, Inc., or operation of this product in any way other than as detailed by this
manual, could void your authority to operate this product.
SECTION 3FCCREGULATORY INFORMATION
3.1 Part 15 Compliance
This device complies with part 15 of the FCC rules. Operation is subject to the
following two conditions: (1) This device may not cause harmful interference,
and (2) This device must accept any interference received, including
interference that may cause undesired operation. Privacy of communications
may not be ensured when using this phone.
3.2 Privacy Information
Cordless telephones are radio devices. Communications between the handset
and base of the cordless telephone are accomplished by means of radio
waves which are broadcast over the open airways. Because of the inherent

Dterm Cordless DECT Document Revision 1
Repeater Guide 1 - 3
___________________________________________________________________________________
___________________________________________________________________________________
physical properties of radio waves, communication can be received by radio
receiving devices other than your own telephone unit, consequently, any
communications using the cordless telephone may not be private.
3.3 Radio Interference Information
Radio interference may occasionally cause buzzing and humming in your
cordless handset, or clicking noises in the base unit. This interference is
caused by external sources such as TV, fluorescent lighting, or electrical
storm. Your unit is NOT DEFECTIVE. If these noises continue and are too
distracting, check around your office to see what appliances may be causing
the problem. In addition, we recommend that the base not be plugged into a
circuit that also powers a major appliance because of the potential of
interference. For best performance, ensure that the antenna on the base unit
is fully extended.
In the unlikely event that you consistently hear other voices or distracting
transmissions on your telephone, you may be receiving radio signals for
another cordless telephone or other source of interference. If you cannot
eliminate this type of interference, you need to change to a different channel.
Finally, it should be noted that some cordless telephones operate at
frequencies that may cause interference to nearby TVs and VCRs. To
minimize or prevent such interference, the base of the cordless telephone
should not be placed near or on top of a TV or VCR. If interference is
experienced, moving the cordless telephone farther away from the TV or VCR
will often reduce or eliminate the interference.
Radio interference causes interruptions in conversation. When this happens,
your unit is not defective. When noise continues, move to a different location
while you talk. (You might even need to move the base unit.) When the
situation persists, contact National Technical Assistance Center.
