Important safety instructions
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 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. 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: This power adapter is intended to be plugged into a vertical
wall outlet or a floor 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,
bracelets, 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.
