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:
Read and understand all instructions.
Follow all warnings and instructions marked on the product.
Unplug this product from the wall outlet before cleaning. Do not use liquid or
aerosol cleaners. Use a damp cloth for cleaning.
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.
Do not place this product on an unstable table, shelf, stand or other unstable
surfaces.
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.
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.
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 ofce, 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
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 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.
Avoid using a telephone (other than cordless) during an electrical storm.
There is a remote risk of electric shock from lightning.
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 adaptor 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. Use only the adaptors included with this product. Incorrect adaptor polarity or
voltage can seriously damage the product..
18. The power adaptor 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.
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
Battery
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 battery for the handset.
Do not dispose of batteries in a fire. They may explode.
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.
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.
