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 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.
About wireless mics
Privacy: 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.
Electrical power: 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.
Potential TV interference: 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.
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.
Nickel-metal hydride rechargeable batteries: 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.

After that, press . If you hear a dial tone, and see that the status indicators turns
green on both the base unit and the wireless mics, the installation is successful.
If you do not hear a dial tone:
Make sure the installation procedures described above are properly done.
It may be a wiring problem. If you have changed your telephone service to digital

need to be rewired to allow all existing telephone jacks to work. Contact your
cable/VoIP service provider for more information.
Operating range
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.
