TFBM.
Use only the adapter included with this product. Incorrect adapter polarity or voltage can seriously
damage the product. Base unit power adapter: Input 100-240V AC 50/60 Hz; Output: 9V DC 1500mA.
Do not place this product on an unstable table, shelf, stand or other unstable surfaces.
Slots and openings in the back or bottom of the base unit and wireless mic 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.
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 office, consult your dealer or local power
company.
Do not allow anything to rest on 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 base unit or wireless mic
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 base unit or wireless mic 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 normally by following the operating instructions. Adjust only those

certain circumstances, a spark may be created when the adapter is plugged into the power outlet, or
when the wireless mic 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 wireless mic onto the charging cradle, if the phone is located in an environment containing
concentrations of flammable or flame-supporting gases, unless there is adequate ventilation. A spark

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:
1BDFNBLFSQBUJFOUT
Should keep the wireless telephone 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.

1SJWBDZ The same features that make a wireless mic convenient create some limitations. Calls on
conference phones are transmitted between the base unit and the wireless mic by radio waves,
so there is a possibility that the wireless mic conversations could be intercepted by radio receiving
equipment within range of the wireless mic. For this reason, you should not think of conference phone
conversations as being as private as those on corded telephones.
&MFDUSJDBMQPXFS The base unit of this conference phone 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
conference phone if the base unit is unplugged, switched off or if the electrical power is interrupted.
1PUFOUJBM57JOUFSGFSFODF Wireless mic operates at frequencies that may cause interference to
televisions and VCRs. To minimize or prevent such interference, do not place the base unit near or on
top of a TV or VCR. If interference is experienced, moving the wireless mic farther away from the TV or
VCR often reduces or eliminates the interference.
3FDIBSHFBCMFCBUUFSJFT 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.
/JDLFMNFUBMIZESJEFSFDIBSHFBCMFCBUUFSJFTDispose of these batteries in a safe manner. Do not
burn or puncture. Like other batteries of this type, if burned or punctured, they could release caustic
material which could cause injury.

This conference phone operates with the maximum power allowed by the Federal
Communications Commission (FCC). Even so, this wireless mic and base unit can
communicate over a certain distance, which can vary with the locations of the base
unit and wireless mic, the weather, and the layout of your office.
When the wireless mic is out of range, the status indicator flashes red slowly on the
wireless mic. The wireless mic will sleep after out of range for 30 minutes. Therefore,
you should always return the wireless mic to the charging cradle after use.
If there is an incoming call while the wireless mic is out of range, the incoming call
green light may not flash on the wireless mic. If it flashes, the call may not connect
well when you press
on the base unit. Move the wireless mic closer to the base
unit, and then press
on the base unit to answer the call. If the wireless mic moves
out of range during a telephone conversation, there may be interference. To improve
reception, move closer to the base unit.
