Important safety instructions
When using your telephone equipment, basic safety precautions should always be followed
to reduce the risk of fire, electric shock and injury, including the following:
1. Read and understand all instructions.
2. Follow all warnings and instructions marked on the product.
3. Unplug this product from the wall outlet before cleaning. Do not use liquid or aerosol
cleaners. Use a damp cloth for cleaning.
4. CAUTION: Do not install the telephone base at a height above 2 meters.
5. Do not use this product near water such as near a bath tub, wash bowl, kitchen sink,
laundry tub or a swimming pool, nor in a wet basement or shower.
6. Do not place this product on an unstable table, shelf, stand or other unstable surfaces.
7. Avoid placing the telephone system in places with extreme temperature, direct sunlight,
or other electrical devices. Protect your phone from moisture, dust, corrosive liquids and
fumes.
8. Slots and openings in the back or bottom of the telephone base and handset are provided
for ventilation. To protect them from overheating, these openings must not be blocked by
placing the product on a soft surface such as a bed, sofa or rug. This product should never
be placed near or over a radiator or heat register. This product should not be placed in any
area where proper ventilation is not provided.
9. This product should be operated only from the type of power source indicated on the
marking label. If you are not sure of the type of power supply in your home or office,
consult your dealer or local power company.
10. Do not allow anything to rest on the power cord. Do not install this product where the cord
may be walked on.
11. Never push objects of any kind into this product through the slots in the telephone base or
handset because they may touch dangerous voltage points or create a short circuit. Never
spill liquid of any kind on the product.
12. To reduce the risk of electric shock, do not disassemble this product, but take it to an
authorized service facility. Opening or removing parts of the telephone base or handset
other than specified access doors may expose you to dangerous voltages or other risks.
Incorrect reassembling can cause electric shock when the product is subsequently used.
13. Do not overload wall outlets and extension cords.
14. Unplug this product from the wall outlet and refer servicing to an authorized service facility
under the following conditions:
• When the power supply cord or plug is damaged or frayed.
• If liquid has been spilled onto the product.
• If the product has been exposed to rain or water.
• If the product does not operate normally by following the operating instructions.
Adjust only those controls that are covered by the operation instructions. Improper
adjustment of other controls may result in damage and often requires extensive work
by an authorized technician to restore the product to normal operation.
• If the product has been dropped and the telephone base and/or handset has been
damaged.
• If the product exhibits a distinct change in performance.
15. Avoid using a telephone (other than cordless) during an electrical storm. There is a remote
risk of electric shock from lightning.
16. Do not use the telephone to report a gas leak in the vicinity of the leak. Under certain
circumstances, a spark may be created when the adapter is plugged into the power
outlet, or when the handset is replaced in its cradle. This is a common event associated
with the closing of any electrical circuit. The user should not plug the phone into a power
outlet, and should not put a charged handset into the cradle, if the phone is located in
an environment containing concentrations of flammable or flame-supporting gases,
unless there is adequate ventilation. A spark in such an environment could create a fire or
explosion. Such environments might include: medical use of oxygen without adequate
ventilation; industrial gases (cleaning solvents; gasoline vapors; etc.); a leak of natural
gas; etc.
17. Only put the handset of your telephone next to your ear when it is in normal talk mode.
18. The power adapter is intended to be correctly oriented in a vertical or floor mount
position. The prongs are not designed to hold the plug in place if it is plugged into a
ceiling, under-the-table or cabinet outlet.
19. For pluggable equipment, the socket-outlet shall be installed near the equipment and shall
be easily accessible.
20. CAUTION:Use only the batteries indicated in this manual. There may be a risk
of explosion if a wrong type of battery is used for the handset. Use only the supplied
rechargeable batteries or replacement batteries (BT162342/BT262342) for the handset.
Do not dispose of batteries in a fire. They may explode.
21. Use only the adapter included with this product. Incorrect adapter polarity or voltage can
seriously damage the product.
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
Battery
• CAUTION: Use Only Supplied Battery.
• Do not dispose of the battery in a fire. Check with local waste management codes for
special disposal instructions.
• Do not open or mutilate the battery. Released electrolyte is corrosive and may cause
burns or injury to the eyes or skin. The electrolyte may be toxic if swallowed.
• Exercise care in handling batteries in order not to create a short circuit with conductive
materials.
• Charge the battery provided with this product only in accordance with the instructions
and limitations specified in this manual.
Precautions for users of implanted cardiac pacemakers
Cardiac pacemakers (applies only to digital cordless telephones):
Wireless Technology Research, LLC (WTR), an independent research entity, led a
multidisciplinary evaluation of the interference between portable wireless telephones and
implanted cardiac pacemakers. Supported by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration, WTR
recommends to physicians that:
Pacemaker patients
• Should keep wireless telephones at least six inches from the pacemaker.
• Should NOT place wireless telephones directly over the pacemaker, such as in a breast
pocket, when it is turned ON.
• Should use the wireless telephone at the ear opposite the pacemaker.
WTR’s evaluation did not identify any risk to bystanders with pacemakers from other persons
using wireless telephones.
About cordless telephones
• Privacy: The same features that make a cordless telephone convenient create some
limitations. Telephone calls are transmitted between the telephone base and the cordless
handset by radio waves, so there is a possibility that the cordless telephone conversations
could be intercepted by radio receiving equipment within range of the cordless handset.
For this reason, you should not think of cordless telephone conversations as being as
private as those on corded telephones.
• Electrical power: The telephone base of this cordless telephone must be connected to a
working electrical outlet. The electrical outlet should not be controlled by a wall switch.
Calls cannot be made from the cordless handset if the telephone base is unplugged,
switched off or if the electrical power is interrupted.
• Potential TV interference: Some cordless telephones operate at frequencies that may
cause interference to televisions and VCRs. To minimize or prevent such interference, do
not place the telephone base of the cordless telephone near or on top of a TV or VCR. If
interference is experienced, moving the cordless telephone farther away from the TV or
VCR often reduces or eliminates the interference.
• Rechargeable batteries: Exercise care in handling batteries in order not to create a
short circuit with conducting material such as rings, bracelets and keys. The battery or
conductor may overheat and cause harm. Observe proper polarity between the battery
and the battery charger.
• Nickel-metal hydride rechargeable batteries: Dispose of these batteries in a safe manner.
Do not burn or puncture the battery. Like other batteries of this type, if burned or
punctured, they could release caustic material which could cause injury.
