1. Use only the appropriate type and size battery pack
specified in the manual.
2. Do not dispose of the battery pack in a fire, the cell
may explode.
3. Do not open or mutilate the battery pack. Released
electrolyte is corrosive and can cause damage to the

Privacy
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 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.

SECTION 4 IMPORTANT ELECTRICAL CONSIDERATIONS
Warning!
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
telephone is no exception.
Caution:
Changes or modifications to this product not expressly
approved by NEC America, Inc., or operation of this product
in any way other than as detailed by this manual, could void
your authority to operate this product.
Range
The new telephone is designed to achieve a maximum range of
up to 150 feet (depending upon the environment) by
transmitting and receiving according to the highest
specifications set forth by the FCC. We have rated this phone
to operate at a maximum distance with the qualification that the
range depends upon the environment in which the telephone is
used. Many factors limit range, and it would be impossible to
include all of the variables in our rating. The maximum range
rating of this telephone is meant to be used as a means of
comparison against other range claims.
Telephone Line Problems
The FCC has granted the telephone company the right to
disconnect service in the event that your telephone causes
problems on the telephone line. Also, the telephone company
may make changes in facilities and services which can affect
the operation of your unit. However, your telephone company
must give adequate notice in writing prior to such actions to
allow you time for making necessary arrangements to continue
uninterrupted service.

Cordless Lite Owner’s Manual 1 - 7
If you are having trouble with your telephone service, you
must first disconnect your telephone to determine if it is the
cause of your problem. If you determine that it is the cause,
you must leave it disconnected until the trouble has been
corrected.
Radio Interference
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.
More than One Cordless Telephone
If you want to use more than one cordless telephone in your
office, they must operate on different channels. Press the
channel key to select a channel that provides the clearest
communication.
