Especially 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 handset by radio waves, so 
there is a possibility that your 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 which is not controlled by a wall switch. Calls cannot be made from the 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 TVs 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 will often reduce or 
eliminate the interference. 
Rechargeable batteries: This product contains nickel-metal hydride rechargeable batteries. 
Exercise care in handling batteries in order not to create a short circuit with conductive 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. Like other batteries of this type, if burned or punctured, they could release 
caustic material which could cause injury.
The RBRC™ Seal means that the manufacturer is voluntarily participating in an industry 
program to collect and recycle nickel-metal hydride rechargeable batteries when taken 
out of service within the United States. These batteries may be taken to a participating 
local retailer of replacement batteries or recycling center. Or you may call  
1 (800) 8-BATTERY for locations accepting spent Ni-MH batteries.
