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
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.
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
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. 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.

Battery
CAUTION: Use Only Supplied Battery.
Do not dispose of the battery in a fire.
Check with local waste management
codes for special disposal instructions.
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

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.

General product care
Taking care of your telephone
Your cordless telephone contains
sophisticated electronic parts, so it must be
treated with care.
Avoid rough treatment
Place the handset down gently. Save the
original packing materials to protect your

that should retain its luster for many years.
Clean it only with a dry non-abrasive cloth.
Do not use dampened cloth or cleaning

playing. Wait until the
announcement is over
before entering the code.
I subscribe to a

doesn’t work.
Make sure your computer
is powered on, and
your Internet is working
properly.

try using a USB hub with
its own external power
supply.
