•

Avoid using a telephone (other than

cordless) during an electrical storm.

There is a remote risk of electric

shock from lightning.

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.

Only put the handset of your

telephone next to your ear when it is

in normal talk mode.

The power adapters are 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.

•

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.

order not to create a short circuit with

conductive materials.

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.
