Important safety information
Especially about cordless telephones
X 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 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.
X 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.
X 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.
X 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.
X 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.
X Lithium-ion 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.
