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. Do not use this product near water such as near a
bath tub, wash bowl, kitchen sink, laundry tub or a
swimming pool, or in a wet basement or shower.
5. Do not place this product on an unstable table, shelf,
stand or other unstable surfaces.
6. 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.
7. 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.
8. This product should be operated only from the type
of power source indicated on the marking label. If you

8
are not sure of the type of power supply in your home
or office, consult your dealer or local power company.
9. Do not allow anything to rest on the power cord. Do
not install this product where the cord may be walked
on.
10. 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.
11. 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.
12. Do not overload wall outlets and extension cords.
13. 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.

9
• 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.
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 vapours; 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. Use only the adapters included with this product.
Incorrect adapter polarity or voltage can seriously
damage the product.
Base unit adapter: Input 100-240V AC 50/60Hz;
Output: 6V DC 800mA;
Handset charger adapter: Input 100-240V AC 50/60Hz;
Output: 6V DC 450mA

10
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. Telephone receivers produce magnetic fields that can
attract small metallic objects such as pins or staples.
To avoid injury, do not place the handset where such
objects can be picked up.

LOCATION
Place your CL6527A within 2 metres of the mains power
socket and telephone socket so that the cables will reach.
Make sure it is at least 1 metre away from other electrical
appliances to avoid interference. Your CL6527A works by
sending radio signals between the base and handset. The
strength of the signal depends on where you locate the
base. Putting it as high as possible ensures the best signal.
The maximum range between the base station and the
handset is approximately 300 metres.
