the power cord. Do not install this
product where the cord may be
walked on.
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.
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.
Do not overload wall outlets and
extension cords.
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

14. Avoid using a telephone (other than
cordless) during an electrical storm.
There is a remote risk of electric shock
from lightning.
15. 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.
16. Only put the handset of your
telephone next to your ear when it is
in normal talk mode.
17. The power adapters are 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.
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS

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.

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.
