12. Do not use the telephone to report a gas leak in the vicinity of the leak.

Additional Battery Safety Precautions

Caution!

To reduce the risk of fire or injury to persons by the battery, read and follow these instructions.

1. Use only the appropriate type and size battery pack specified in the owner’s manual.

2. Do not dispose of the battery pack in a fire. The cell may explode.

3. Do not open or mutilate the battery pack. Release electrolyte is corrosive and may cause damage to the eyes or skin. It may be toxic if swallowed.

4. Exercise care in handling the battery in order not to short the battery with conducting materials such as rings, bracelets and keys.

5. Charge the battery pack provided with or identified for use with this product only in accordance with the instructions and limitations.

6. Observe proper polarity orientation between the battery pack and battery charger.

IMPORTANT ELECTRICAL CONSIDERATIONS

Unplug all electrical appliances when you know an electrical storm is approaching. Lighting can pass through your household wiring and damage any device connected to it. This phone is no exception.

Please do not attempt to unplug any appliance during an electrical storm.

Range

Your new phone is designed to achieve the maximum possible range by transmitting and receiving according to the highest specifications. We have rated this phone to operate at a maximum distance with the qualification that the range depends upon the environment in which the telephone is used. Many

factors limit range, and it would be impossible to include all the variables in our rating. The Maximum Range rating of this phone is meant to be used as a means of comparison against other range claims.

Telephone Line Problems

If you are having trouble with your telephone service, you must first disconnect your phone to determine if it is the cause of your problem. If you determine that it is the cause, you must leave it disconnected until the trouble has been corrected.

Under power failure, this telephone may not operate. Please ensure that a separate phone, not dependent on local power is available during emergencies.

Radio Interference

Radio interference may occasionally cause buzzing and humming in your cordless handset, or clicking noises in the base. This interference is caused by external sources such as TV, refrigerator, vacuum cleaner, fluorescent lighting or electrical storm. Your unit is NOT DEFECTIVE. If these noises continue and are too distracting, please check around your home to see what appliances may be causing the problem. In addition, we recommend that the base not be plugged into a circuit that also powers a major appliance because of the potential for interference. Be certain that the antenna on the unit is raised vertically.

Finally, it should be noted that some cordless telephones operate at frequencies that may cause interference to nearby TV’s or VCR’s. To minimise or prevent such interference, the base of the cordless telephone should not be placed 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.

More Than One Phone

Each telephone device that you connect draws power from the phone line. We refer to the power drawn as the device’s Ringer Equivalence Number (REN). The REN is shown at the bottom part of your telephone. If you are using more than one phone or other device on the line, add up all the RENs. If the total is more than 3, your phones might not ring.

INSTALLATION CONSIDERATIONS

▼

Selecting a Location

Before choosing a location for your new phone, here are some important guidelines you should consider:

●

●

●

●

●

●

The location should be close to both a phone jack and a power outlet.

Keep the base and handset away from sources of electrical noise such as motors and fluorescent lighting.

Be sure there is sufficient space to rotate the base antenna fully vertical.

The base can be placed on a desk, tabletop or mounted on a standard wall plate.

You should charge the battery in your handset for 15-20 hours before connecting the phone line.

Most phone equipment available now uses modular jacks. Phone cords are fitted with a molded plastic connector which plugs into this type of jack. If you do not have a modular phone jack, contact your local telephone company for information about their installation.
