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.
The RBRC ® seal
The RBRC ® seal on the nickel-metal hydride battery indicates that VTech
Communications, Inc. is voluntarily participating in an industry program to collect
and recycle these batteries at the end of their useful lives, when taken out of service
within the United States and Canada.
The RBRC
® program provides a convenient alternative to placing used nickel-metal
hydride batteries into the trash or municipal waste, which may be illegal in your area.
VTech’s participation in RBRC
® makes it easy for you to drop off the spent battery
at local retailers participating in the RBRC ® program or at authorized VTech product
service centers. Please call 1 (800) 8 BATTERY TM for information on Ni-MH battery
recycling and disposal bans/restrictions in your area. VTech’s involvement in this
program is part of its commitment to protecting our environment and conserving
natural resources.
