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.

18. For pluggable equipment, the socket-

outlet shall be installed near the equipment

and shall be easily accessible.

19. 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 batteries or replacement

batteries (BT205662) for the handset. Do

not dispose of batteries in a ﬁre. They may

explode.

20. Use only the adapter included with this

product. Incorrect adapter polarity or

voltage can seriously damage the product.

Base unit power adapter: Output:

6V DC @ 800mA.

Charger power adapter: Output:

6V DC @ 400mA.

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.

SOS emergency call

The AUDIO ASSIST/SOS button on the

cordless handset can function as SOS

emergency button. It lets you quickly

page other system devices and call

preset external numbers for help in an

emergency.

You can preset up to ﬁve SOS numbers.

If you have purchased and registered a

Wearable home SOS pendant (SN7022)

to your telephone system, the SOS

pendant will function as same as the SOS

emergency button of the cordless handset.

• To ensure proper operation, the telephone

system must be installed according to the

installation instructions on page 7 to

page 9. To verify that the telephone

system is operating properly and can

successfully make emergency calls to the

preset numbers, the telephone system must

be tested immediately after installation, and

periodically thereafter, according to the

setup instructions on page 13 to page

14, and the operations on page 23.

• The telephone system cannot make an

emergency call when other equipment

(telephone, answering system, computer

modem, etc.) connected to the same phone

line is in use.

• Do not solely rely on the SOS button on

the cordless handset, or the Wearable

home SOS pendant (SN7022, purchased

separately), for getting help in case of

emergency. The functionality of the SOS

emergency call is dependent on the phone

settings and network availability.

• We recommend you set all the ﬁve SOS

numbers to maximize the possibility of

receiving response from others when you

make an emergency call.

How does SOS emergency call

work?

• To make an emergency call, press

and hold AUDIO ASSIST/SOS on the

right side of the cordless handset for

three seconds. The telephone base

announces “Emergency mode is

activated“. The handset then pages all

system devices. All devices ring an alert

tone and the handset screen shows

SOS mode for 20 seconds. After that,

the telephone then calls the preset SOS

numbers in sequence until the call is

answered.

- The telephone enables internal SOS

alert by default. When this feature

is enabled, the telephone pages all

system devices before calling the

preset SOS numbers.

- If you disable internal SOS alert (see

page 14), the telephone calls the

preset SOS numbers directly when

you press and hold AUDIO ASSIST/

SOS on the cordless handset.

• When the SOS call to the preset external

number is answered, the call receiver

hears an SOS message. You can record

your own message or use the default

message (see page 14).

• The SOS message played by the

telephone asks the SOS call receiver

to respond by pressing a number

key. After the call receiver presses a

number key, you can then talk to the call

receiver.

• When the SOS emergency call is

answered by answering machine or

voicemail, the call will be terminated

after 60 seconds. The telephone then

dials the next SOS number in sequence.

• When none of the preset SOS numbers

answer, the telephone re-calls the

preset SOS numbers in sequence until

the call is answered. The telephone

will call all the preset SOS numbers for

3 times before aborting the operation

when none of the calls are answered.
