User's Manual

Appendix
62
Do not use the telephone to report a gas leak in the vicinity of the leak. Under certain circumstances,
a spark may be created when the adapter is plugged into the power outlet, or when the handset is
replaced in its cradle. This is a common event associated with the closing of any electrical circuit.
The user should not plug the phone into a power outlet, and should not put a charged handset
into the cradle, if the phone is located in an environment containing concentrations of flammable
or flame-supporting gases, unless there is adequate ventilation. A spark in such an environment
could create a fire or explosion. Such environments might include: medical use of oxygen without
adequate ventilation; industrial gases (cleaning solvents; gasoline vapors; etc.); a leak of natural
gas; etc.
Only put the handset of your telephone next to your ear when it is in normal talk mode.
The power adapters are intended to be correctly oriented in a vertical or floor mount position. The
prongs are not designed to hold the plug in place if it is plugged into a ceiling, under-the-table
or cabinet outlet.

Precautions for users of implanted cardiac pacemakers
Cardiac pacemakers (applies only to digital cordless telephones):
Wireless Technology Research, LLC (WTR), an independent research entity, led a multidisciplinary
evaluation of the interference between portable wireless telephones and implanted cardiac pacemakers.
Supported by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration, WTR recommends to physicians that:
Pacemaker patients
Should keep wireless telephones at least six inches from the pacemaker.
Should NOT place wireless telephones directly over the pacemaker, such as in a breast pocket,
when it is turned ON.
Should use the wireless telephone at the ear opposite the pacemaker. WTR’s evaluation did not
identify any risk to bystanders with pacemakers from other persons using wireless telephones.
