Important safety information
CAUTION: To prevent risk of re or battery explosion, replace with the correct battery 
type. Dispose of used batteries according to the instructions.
Especially about cordless telephones
f 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.
f 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 o or if the electrical power  
is interrupted.
f 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 oen 
reduce or eliminate the interference. 
f 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.
f 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.
