Important Safety Instructions
Especially About Cordless Telephones
• Privacy: The same features that make a cordless phone convenient create some
limitations. Telephone calls are transmitted between the 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 cordless phone conversations as
being as private as those on corded phones.
• Electrical Power: The base unit 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 base unit is
unplugged or switched off, or if the electrical power is interrupted.
• Potential TV Interference: Some cordless telephones operate at frequencies
that may cause interference to TVs and VCRs. To minimize or prevent such inter-
ference, do not place the base unit 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. (Applies
to 25-channel cordless phones only.)
• 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.
The RBRC ™ Seal means that the manufacturer is voluntarily participating in an industry program to collect
and recycle Nickel-Cadmium rechargeable batteries when taken out of service within the United States.
These batteries may be taken to a participating local retailer of replacement batteries or recycling center.
Or you may call 1 800 8BATTERY for locations accepting spent Nickel-Cadmium Batteries.
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.
• 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.
