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

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. Use only the adapters included with this product. Incorrect adapter polarity or
voltage can seriously damage the product..
Telephone base adapter: Input 100-120V AC 200mA 60Hz; Output: 6V DC 600mA;
Charger adapter: Input 100-120V AC 150mA 60Hz; Output: 6V DC 400mA.
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.
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 or replacement battery pack (BT183342/BT283342) for the
handset.
Do not dispose of batteries in a fire. They may explode. Dispose of used battery
according to the information in The RBRC
®
seal.
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.
