When using your telephone equipment, basic safety precautions should always be followed to reduce the risk of fire, electric shock and injury, including the following:
1. Read and understand all ꢀnstructꢀons.
2. Follow all warnꢀngs and ꢀnstructꢀons marked on the product.
3. Unplug thꢀs product from the wall outlet before cleanꢀng. Do not use lꢀquꢀd or aerosol cleaners. Use a damp cloth for cleanꢀng.

5. Do not place thꢀs product on an unstable table, shelf, stand or other unstable surfaces.
6. Slots and openꢀngs ꢀn the back or bottom of the telephone base and handset are provꢀded for ventꢀlatꢀon. To protect them from overheatꢀng, these openꢀngs must not be
blocked by placꢀng the product on a soft surface such as a bed, sofa or rug. Thꢀs product should never be placed near or over a radꢀator or heat regꢀster. Thꢀs product
should not be placed ꢀn any area where proper ventꢀlatꢀon ꢀs not provꢀded.
7. Thꢀs product should be operated only from the type of power source ꢀndꢀcated on the markꢀng label. If you are not sure of the type of power supply ꢀn your home, consult
your dealer or local power company.
8. Do not allow anythꢀng to rest on the power cord. Do not ꢀnstall thꢀs product where the cord may be walked on.
9. Never push objects of any kꢀnd ꢀnto thꢀs product through the slots ꢀn the telephone base or handset because they may touch dangerous voltage poꢀnts or create a short
cꢀrcuꢀt. Never spꢀll lꢀquꢀd of any kꢀnd on the product.

handset other than specified access doors may expose you to dangerous voltages or other risks. Incorrect reassembling can cause electric shock when the product
ꢀs subsequently used.
11. Do not overload wall outlets and extensꢀon cords.
12. Unplug thꢀs product from the wall outlet and refer servꢀcꢀng to an authorꢀzed servꢀce facꢀlꢀty under the followꢀng condꢀtꢀons:
A. When the power supply cord or plug ꢀs damaged or frayed.

Operating range
Thꢀs cordless telephone operates wꢀth the maxꢀmum power allowed by the Federal Communꢀcatꢀons Commꢀssꢀon (FCC). Even so, thꢀs handset and telephone base can
communicate over only a certain distance - which can vary with the locations of the telephone base and handset, the weather, and the layout of your home or office.

Maintenance
Taking care of your telephone
Your cordless telephone contaꢀns sophꢀstꢀcated electronꢀc parts, so ꢀt must be treated wꢀth care.
Avoid rough treatment
Place the handset down gently. Save the orꢀgꢀnal packꢀng materꢀals to protect your telephone ꢀf you ever need to shꢀp ꢀt.
Avoid water
Your telephone can be damaged ꢀf ꢀt gets wet. Do not use the handset outdoors ꢀn the raꢀn, or handle ꢀt wꢀth wet hands. Do not ꢀnstall the telephone base near a sꢀnk,
bathtub or shower.
Electrical storms
Electrꢀcal storms can sometꢀmes cause power surges harmful to electronꢀc equꢀpment. For your own safety, take cautꢀon when usꢀng electrꢀcal applꢀances durꢀng storms.
Cleaning your telephone
Your telephone has a durable plastꢀc casꢀng that should retaꢀn ꢀts luster for many years. Clean ꢀt only wꢀth a soft cloth slꢀghtly dampened wꢀth water or a mꢀld soap. Do not
use excess water or cleanꢀng solvents of any kꢀnd.
Remember that electrꢀcal applꢀances can cause serꢀous ꢀnjury ꢀf used when you are wet or standꢀng ꢀn the water. If the telephone base should fall ꢀnto the water, DO NOT
RETRIEVE IT UNTIL YOU UNPLUG THE POWER CORD AND TELEPHONE LINE CORD FROM THE WALL. Then pull the unꢀt out by the unplugged cords.

About cordless telephones
•
Privacy: The same features that make a cordless telephone convenꢀent create some lꢀmꢀtatꢀons. Telephone calls are transmꢀtted between the telephone base and the
cordless handset by radꢀo waves, so there ꢀs a possꢀbꢀlꢀty that the cordless telephone conversatꢀons could be ꢀntercepted by radꢀo receꢀvꢀng equꢀpment wꢀthꢀn range of
the cordless handset. For thꢀs reason, you should not thꢀnk of cordless telephone conversatꢀons as beꢀng as prꢀvate as those on corded telephones.
•
•
Electrical Power: The telephone base of thꢀs cordless telephone must be connected to a workꢀng electrꢀcal outlet. The electrꢀcal outlet should not be controlled by a
wall swꢀtch. Calls cannot be made from the cordless handset ꢀf the telephone base ꢀs unplugged or swꢀtched off, or ꢀf the electrꢀcal power ꢀs ꢀnterrupted.
Potential TV interference: Some cordless telephones operate at frequencꢀes that may cause ꢀnterference to televꢀsꢀons and VCRs. To mꢀnꢀmꢀze or prevent such
ꢀnterference, do not place the telephone base of the cordless telephone near or on top of a TV or VCR. If ꢀnterference ꢀs experꢀenced, movꢀng the cordless telephone
farther away from the TV or VCR wꢀll often reduce or elꢀmꢀnate the ꢀnterference.

Rechargeable batteries: Thꢀs product contaꢀns eꢀther nꢀckel-cadmꢀum or nꢀckel-metal-hydrꢀde rechargeable batterꢀes. Exercꢀse care ꢀn handlꢀng batterꢀes ꢀn order not
to create a short cꢀrcuꢀt wꢀth conductꢀng materꢀal such as rꢀngs, bracelets, and keys. The battery or conductor may overheat and cause harm. Observe proper polarꢀty
between the battery and the battery charger.
Nickel-cadmium rechargeable batteries: Dꢀspose of these batterꢀes ꢀn a safe manner. Do not burn or puncture the battery. Lꢀke other batterꢀes of thꢀs type, ꢀf burned

ꢀs no guarantee that ꢀnterference wꢀll not occur ꢀn a partꢀcular ꢀnstallatꢀon. If thꢀs equꢀpment does cause harmful ꢀnterference to radꢀo or televꢀsꢀon receptꢀon, whꢀch can be
determꢀned by turnꢀng the equꢀpment off and on, the user ꢀs encouraged to try to correct the ꢀnterference by one or more of the followꢀng measures:
•
•
•
•
Reorꢀent or relocate the receꢀvꢀng antenna.
Increase the separatꢀon between the equꢀpment and receꢀver.
Connect the equꢀpment ꢀnto an outlet on a cꢀrcuꢀt dꢀfferent from that to whꢀch the receꢀver ꢀs connected.
Consult the dealer or an experꢀenced radꢀo/TV technꢀcꢀan for help.
Changes or modifications to this equipment not expressly approved by the party responsible for compliance could void the user’s authority to operate the equipment.
Thꢀs devꢀce complꢀes wꢀth Part 15 of the FCC rules. Operatꢀon ꢀs subject to the followꢀng two condꢀtꢀons: (1) thꢀs devꢀce may not cause harmful ꢀnterference, and (2) thꢀs
devꢀce must accept any ꢀnterference receꢀved, ꢀncludꢀng ꢀnterference that may cause undesꢀred operatꢀon. Prꢀvacy of communꢀcatꢀons may not be ensured when usꢀng

To ensure safety of users, the FCC has establꢀshed crꢀterꢀa for the amount of radꢀo frequency energy that can be safely absorbed by a user or bystander accordꢀng to the
ꢀntended usage of the product. Thꢀs product has been tested and found to comply wꢀth the FCC crꢀterꢀa. The handset may be safely held agaꢀnst the ear of the user. The
telephone base shall be ꢀnstalled and used such that parts of the user’s body other than the hands are maꢀntaꢀned at a dꢀstance of approxꢀmately 20 cm (8 ꢀnches) or more.

complꢀant. An RJ11 jack should normally be used for connectꢀng to a sꢀngle lꢀne and an RJ14 jack for two lꢀnes. See Installatꢀon Instructꢀons ꢀn the user’s manual.
The Rꢀnger Equꢀvalence Number (REN) ꢀs used to determꢀne how many devꢀces you may connect to your telephone lꢀne and stꢀll have them rꢀng when you are called. The
REN for this product is encoded as the 6th and 7th characters following the US: in the product identifier (e.g., if ## is 03, the REN is 0.3). In most, but not all areas, the sum
of all RENs should be five (5.0) or less. For more information, please contact your local telephone company.
Thꢀs equꢀpment may not be used wꢀth Party Lꢀnes. If you have specꢀally wꢀred alarm dꢀalꢀng equꢀpment connected to your telephone lꢀne, ensure the connectꢀon of
this equipment does not disable your alarm equipment. If you have questions about what will disable alarm equipment, consult your telephone company or a qualified
