BECAUSE YOUR PRODUCT UTILIZES BATTERIES, THE FOLLOWING ADDITIONAL

PRECAUTIONS SHOULD BE OBSERVED:

1. Do not dispose of the battery(ies) in the fire. They may explode. Check with local codes for possible special disposal instructions.

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

3. Exercise care in handling battery(ies) in order not to short out the batteries with conducting materials such as rings, bracelets, and keys. The battery(ies) or conductor may overheat and cause burns.

4. Do not attempt to rejuvenate the battery(ies) provided with or identified for use with this product by heating them. Sudden release of the battery(ies)’ electrolyte may occur causing burns or irritation to eyes or skin.

5. When replacing battery(ies), all batteries should be replaced at the same time. Mixing fresh and discharged batteries could increase internal cell pressure and rupture the discharged battery(ies).

6. When inserting battery(ies) into this product, the proper polarity or direction must be observed. Reverse insertion of battery(ies) can cause charging, and that may result in leakage or explosion.

7. Remove battery(ies) from this product if storing over 30 days because the battery(ies) could leak and damage the product.

8. Discard “dead” battery(ies) as soon as possible because “dead” batteries are more likely to leak in a product.

9. Do not store this product, or the battery(ies) provided with or identified for use with this product, in high-temperature areas

Batteries that are stored in a freezer or refrigerator for the purpose of extending shelf life should be protected from condensation during storage and defrosting. Batteries should be stabilised at room temperature prior to use after cold storage.

Cordless Skype Dual Phone

User Guide

Because the phone works by sending radio signals between the base station and the handset, wearers of hearing aids may experience interference in the form of a humming noise.

Your phone can interfere with electrical equipment such as answering machines, TV and radio sets if placed too close. It is recommended that you position the base station at least one meter from such appliances.

Privacy of communications may not be ensured when using this telephone.

Emergency Calling

Although you cannot use Skype to make emergency calls, the Cordless Skype Dual Phone recognises emergency phone numbers for some countries. If you dial the emergency number and accidentally press instead of

R

, the phone overrides your choice of lines and uses the landline to complete the emergency call.

The emergency numbers are associated with the country that is selected on your phone. For a list of countries and their emergency numbers, see

Selecting Country

If you reset your phone to its default settings, first ring suppression is deactivated. When you receive your next landlinelandline call, your phone automatically detects whether you have calller ID service and, if so, restarts first ring suppression.

Troubleshooting

Basic Procedure

This procedure addresses a number of symptoms that you might experience with your handset:

1. Verify that the batteries are properly installed. The inside of the battery case has a picture showing the proper positions for the batteries.

2. Check the battery indicator to be sure that the batteries have been charged. If you are charging the batteries for the first time, charge them for 14 hours.

3. Verify that the USB and phone cables are connected properly.

4. Ensure that the power outlet to which the base station is connected is a live outlet.

5. Verify that your handset is registered with the base station. If the phone is not registered, the handset dis-

plays UNREGISTERED. To register the handset with the base station, follow the instructions in Register the

U.S.A.

Declares that this product conforms to the FCC Part15, Class B specifications. This equipment complies with

FCC Part 15 for Home and Office use.

FCC Equipment Approval Information

Your telephone equipment is approved for connection to the Public Switched Telephone Network and is in compliance with parts 15 and 68, FCC Rules and Regulations and the Technical Requirements for Telephone

Terminal Equipment published by ACTA.

On the bottom of this equipment is a label indicating, among other information, the US number and Ringer

Equivalence Number (REN) for the equipment. You must, upon request, provide this information to your telephone company.

The REN is used to determine the number of devices that may be connected to a telephone line. Excessive

RENs on a telephone line may result in the devices not ringing in response to an incoming call. In most but not all areas, the sum of RENs should not exceed five (5.0). To be certain of the number of devices that may be connected to a line, as determined by the total RENs, contact the local telephone company.

A plug and jack used to connect this equipment to the premises wiring and telephone network must comply with the applicable FCC Part 68 rules and requirements adopted by the ACTA. A compliant telephone cord modular plug is provided with this product. It is designed to be connected to a compatible modular jack that is also compliant. See this document for details.

• This equipment may not be used on coin service provided by the telephone company.

• Party lines are subject to state tariffs, and therefore, you may not be able to use your own telephone equipment if you are on a party line. Check with your local telephone company.

• Notice must be given to the telephone company upon permanent disconnection of your telephone from your line.

• If your home has specially wired alarm equipment connected to the telephone line, ensure the installation of this product does not disable your alarm equipment. If you have questions about what will disable alarm equipment, consult your telephone company or a qualified installer.

Should your equipment cause trouble on your line which may harm the telephone network, the telephone company shall, where practicable, notify your that temporary discontinuance of service may be required. Where prior notice is not practicable and the circumstances warrant such action, the telephone company may

61

Cordless Skype Dual Phone

User Guide temporarily discontinue service immediately. In case of such temporary discontinuance, the telephone company must:

(1) promptly notify you of such temporary discontinuance;

(2) afford you the opportunity to correct the situation; and

(3) inform you of your right to bring a complaint to the Commission pursuant to procedures set forth in Subpart E or Part 68, FCC Rules and Regulations.

The telephone company may make changes in its communications facilities, equipment, operations or procedures where such action is required in the operation of its business and not inconsistent with FCC Rules and Regulations. If these changes are expected to affect the use or performance of your telephone equipment, the telephone company must give you adequate notice, in writing, to allow you to maintain uninterrupted service.

Noise

Electrical pulse noise is present at one time or another. This is most intense during electrical storms. Certain kinds of electrical equipment, such as light dimmers, fluorescent bulbs, motors, fans, etc., also generate pulse noise. Because radio frequencies are susceptible to this, you may on occasion hear pulse noise through the receiver. This is usually only a minor annoyance and should not be interpreted as a defect of the unit.
