Important safety information
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 the 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
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.
• 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 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.
