52AppendixThis cordless telephone operates with the maximum power allowed by the Fed-eral Communications Commission (FCC). Even so, this handset and telephone base can communicate over only a certain distance ----which can vary with the locations of the telephone base and handset, the weather, and the layout of your home or office. When the handset is out of range, the handset will display CONNECTING. The user can access the handset directory, and certain parts of the menu system, i.e. handset setting, but not the time setting and telephone base setting. NOT AVAILABLE will be displayed if access is denied.If there is a call while the handset is out of range, it might not ring, or if it does ring, the call might not connect well when you press PHONE/FLASH. Move closer to the telephone base, then press PHONE/FLASH to answer the call. If the handset moves out of range during a telephone conversation, there might be interference.To improve reception, move closer to the telephone base.BatteryTaking care of your telephoneYour cordless telephone contains sophisticated electronic parts, so it must be treated with care.Avoid rough treatment.Place the handset down gently.

Do not use the handset out-doors in the rain, or handle it with wet hands. Do not install the telephone base near a sink, bathtub or shower.Electrical stormsElectrical storms can sometimes cause power surges harmful to electronic equipment. For your own safety, take caution when using electric appliances during storms.Cleaning your telephoneYour telephone has a durable plastic casing that should retain its luster for many years. Clean it only with a soft cloth slightly dampened with water or a mild soap.Do not use excess water or cleaning solvents of any kind.•••••••MaintenanceRemember that electrical appliances can cause serious injury if used when you are wet or standing in water. If the telephone base should fall into water, DO NOT RETRIEVE IT UNTIL YOU UNPLUG THE POWER CORD AND TELEPHONE LINE CORDS FROM THE WALL. Then pull the unit out by the unplugged cords.

54AppendixImportant safety instructionsEspecially About Cordless Telephones•Privacy: The same features that make a cordless phone 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 phone conversations could be intercepted by radio receiving equipment within range of the cordless handset. For this reason, you should not think of cord-less phone conversations as being as private as those on corded phones.•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 handset if the telephone base is unplugged or switched off, or if the electrical power is interrupted.Power adapter: 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 or an under-the-table/cabinet outlet.•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 either Nickel-Cadmium or Nickel-Metal Hydride rechargeable batteries. Exercise care in handling batteries in order not to short the battery with conducting material such as rings, brace-lets, and keys. The battery or conductor may overheat and cause harm. Observe proper polarity between the battery and the battery charger.•Nickel-cadmium rechargeable batteries: Must be recycled or disposed of properly. Do not dispose of in household garbage. Do not burn or puncture. Like other batteries of this type, if burned or punctured, they could release caustic material which could cause injury.•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 indus-try program to collect and recycle Nickel-metal rechargeable batteries when taken out of service within the United States. These batteries may be taken to a participat-ing local retailer of replacement batteries or recycling center. Or you may call 1 (800) 8 BATTERY for locations accepting spent nickel-metal Batteries. •
55AppendixImportant safety instructionsPrecautions for users of implanted cardiac pacemakersCardiac pacemakers (applies only to 900 MHz 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 had recommended to physicians that:Pacemaker patients• Should keep wireless phones at least six inches from the pacemaker.• Should NOT place wireless phones directly over the pacemaker, such as in a breast pocket, when it is turned ON.• Should use the wireless phone at the ear opposite the pacemaker.WTR’s evaluation did not identify any risk to bystanders with pacemakers from other persons using wireless phones.Especially about telephones answering systemsTwo-way Recording: This unit does not sound warning beeps to let the other party know that the call is being recorded. To ensure that you are in compliance with any federal or state regulations regarding recording a telephone call, you should start the recording process and then inform the other party that you are recording the call.SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
