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 cordless handset by radio waves, so there is a
possibility that the 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 telephones.
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 cordless handset
if the telephone base is unplugged, switched off or if the electrical power is
interrupted.
Potential TV interference: Some cordless telephones operate at
frequencies that may cause interference to televisions 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 often reduces or eliminates the interference.
Rechargeable batteries: Exercise care in handling batteries in order not
to create a short circuit 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-metal hydride rechargeable batteries: Dispose of these batteries
in a safe manner. Do not burn or puncture the battery. Like other batteries of
this type, if burned or punctured, they could release caustic material which
could cause injury.
