5. Do not use this product near water such as near a bath tub, wash bowl, kitchen sink,
laundry tub or a swimming pool, nor in a wet basement or shower.
6. Do not place this product on an unstable table, shelf, stand or other unstable surfaces.
7. 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.
8. 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.
9. 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.
10. Do not allow anything to rest on the power cord. Do not install this product where the
cord may be walked on.
11. 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.
12. 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.
13. Do not overload wall outlets and extension cords.
14. 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.

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.
17. Only put the handset of your telephone next to your ear when it is in normal talk
mode.

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.

Caller ID
If you subscribe to caller ID service, information about
each caller appears after the first or second ring. If you
answer a call before the caller information appears on the
screen, it will not be saved in the caller ID log.
The caller ID log stores up to 30 entries. Each entry has up
to 24 digits for the phone number and 15 characters for
the name.
If the telephone number has more that 15 digits, only the
last 15 digits appear.
If the name has more than 15 characters, only the first 15
characters are shown and saved in the caller ID log.
Entries appear in reverse chronological order. When the
caller ID log is full, the oldest entry is deleted to make
room for new incoming call information.
Caller ID log entries are shared by all system handsets (for
multiple handset models only). Any deletions made on
one handset are reflected on all other handsets.
NOTE
• This product can provide information only if both
you and the caller are in areas offering caller ID

CONSERVEZ CES INSTRUCTIONS
Pile
• N’utilisez que la pile incluse ou l’équivalent.
• Ne jetez pas la pile au feu. Vérifiez les instructions spécifiques
de mise aux rebus auprès des autorités locales.
• N’ouvrez pas et ne mutilez pas la pile. L’électrolyte qui s’en
échapperait est corrosif et pourrait causer des brûlures ou
des blessures aux yeux ou à la peau. L’électrolyte est toxique
si avalé.
• Soyez prudents lorsque vous manipulez les piles afin d’éviter
les courts-circuits provoqués par des matériaux conducteurs.
• Rechargez la pile incluse avec cet appareil, selon les
instructions et limites spécifiées dans ce guide d’utilisation.
Stimulateurs cardiaques implantés dans l’organisme
Les simulateurs cardiaques (s’applique uniquement aux
téléphones numériques sans fil) :
L’organisme ‘Wireless Technology Research, LLC (WTR)’, une
firme de recherche indépendante, a mené une évaluation
pluridisciplinaire des interférences entre les téléphones sans
fil portatifs et les stimulateurs cardiaques implantés dans
l’organisme. Appuyée par l’Administration des aliments et
drogues (FDA) des États-Unis, la firme WTR recommande aux
médecins :
Avis aux détenteurs de stimulateurs cardiaques
• Ils doivent tenir le téléphone sans fil à une distance d’au
moins six pouces du stimulateur cardiaque.
• Ils ne doivent PAS placer le téléphone sans fil directement sur
le stimulateur cardiaque, tel que dans une poche de chemise,
lorsque celui-ci est en marche.
• Ils doivent utiliser le téléphone sans fil en l’appuyant
sur l’oreille qui se trouve dans la direction opposée au
stimulateur cardiaque.
L’étude effectuée par l’organisme WRS n’a pas identifié de risque
pour les détenteurs de simulateurs cardiaques causés par les
gens qui utilisent un téléphone sans fil à proximité de ceux-ci.
À propos des téléphones sans fil
Confidentialité : Les mêmes caractéristiques qui constituent
des avantages pour les téléphones sans fil affichent également
des restrictions. Les appels téléphoniques sont transmis entre le
combiné sans fil et le socle par le biais d’ondes radio ; il y a donc
la possibilité que vos conversations téléphoniques sans fil soient
interceptées par des équipements de réception radio se trouvant
dans la portée du combiné sans fil. Pour cette raison, vous ne
devez pas percevoir les communications téléphoniques sans fil
comme étant aussi confidentielles que celles des téléphones à
cordons.
Alimentation électrique : Le socle de ce téléphone sans fil
doit être branché à une prise électrique fonctionnelle. La prise
électrique ne doit pas être contrôlée par un interrupteur mural.
Les appels ne pourront pas être effectués du combiné sans fil
si le socle est débranché ou mis hors tension ou si le courant est
coupé.
Possibilité d’interférences aux téléviseurs : Certains téléphones
sans fil fonctionnent sur des fréquences pouvant causer des
interférences aux téléviseurs et aux magnétoscopes. Pour réduire
ou prévenir de telles interférences, ne placez pas le socle du
téléphone sans fil près ou sur un téléviseur ou magnétoscope. S’il
y a présence de parasites, il est conseillé d’éloigner le téléphone
sans fil du téléviseur ou du magnétoscope afin de réduire
possiblement les interférences.
Piles rechargeables : Manipulez les piles avec soin afin de ne
pas les court-circuiter avec des bagues, bracelets ou clés. Les
piles ou le conducteur peut surchauffer et causer des blessures.
Respectez la polarité adéquate entre la pile et le chargeur.
Les bloc-piles rechargeables à l’hydrure métallique de nickel :
Jetez ces blocs-piles de manière écologique et sécuritaire. Ne
les incinérez pas et ne les percez pas. Tel que les autres piles de
ce type, elles pourraient dégager une matière toxique qui peut
causer
des blessures corporelles si elles sont brûlées ou percées.
