Safety remarks
Electrical voltage
Mounting, installation and servicing
work on electrical devices may only
be performed by a suitably qualied
electrician.
Mounting
During installation, where applicable
ensure that the surface is protected
from damage.
Electrostatic charging
As a result of electrostatic charging,
direct contact with the circuit board
can result in destruction of the
device. Direct contact with the circuit
board must therefore be avoided.
Static magnetic eld
Magnetic elds can pose a hazard
for pacemakers, magnetic data
storage media and electronic
devices. A safe distance must be
maintained.
Battery safety
The DECT™ receiver contains a
non-removable battery, therefore
the general battery safety instruc-
tions apply.
• Keep the battery away from
sources of heat and naked ames.
• Never immerse the battery in
liquids.
• Never attempt to dissemble or
modify the battery, or to expose it to
the effects of heat.
• Avoid dropping the battery and
protect it from jolting and impacts
which could damage the housing.
• Otherwise there is a risk of explo-
sion or battery leakage, which could
result in re, injury or damage to the
surroundings.
• If a battery leaks and the emerging
substances come into contact with
the eyes, mouth, skin or clothing,
rinse the affected area immediately
using water and consult a doctor.
• Only use the holder provided to
charge the battery in the receiver.
• The holder was developed exclu-
sively for use with the receiver. Do
not use with other products or
storage batteries.
• A risk of overheating and defor-
mation exists which could cause res
or initiate electric shocks.
• For technical reasons, rechargeable
batteries lose their charging capacity
as they age, and the risk of a mal-
function or even device failure also
increases.
It is therefore advisable to replace
rechargeable batteries with new
ones after many years of use, when
their performance – such as the
maximum duration of a call – has
noticeably dropped.
• Modern furniture is coated with an
enormous variety of different lacquer
and plastic nishes. Constituents of
these materials can result in sof-
tening of the plastic feet in table-top
devices and so impair the surface of
the furniture. Please appreciate that
the manufacturer is unable to accept
any liability.
• Avoid sources of interference such
as microwave devices or electrical
devices with large metal housings in
the vicinity of the base station.
• For any servicing requirements,
please contact your specialist dealer
or electrical installer.
• When using in conjunction with a
hearing aid, it is possible for hum-
ming or feedback noises to occur.
• The cordless handset and the base
station should be positioned at least
1 metre distant from other electrical
devices.
• When used close to medical
devices, functional disturbances can
occur. In such cases, please contact
the manufacturer.
