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 cord-

ed 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 frequen-

cies 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 dis-

posed of properly. Do not dispose of them 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 recy-

cling 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.
