Especially about cordless headsets

• Privacy: The same features that make a cordless headset convenient create
some limitations. Telephone calls are transmitted between the headset charger and
the headset by radio waves, so there is a possibility that your cordless headset
conversations could be intercepted by radio receiving equipment within range
of the cordless headset. For this reason, you should not think of cordless
headset conversations as being as private as those on corded telephones.
• Electrical power: The headset charger of this cordless headset must be
connected to a working electrical outlet which is not controlled by a wall switch.
Calls cannot be made from the headset if the headset charger is unplugged
or switched off, or if the electrical power is interrupted.
• Potential TV interference: Some cordless headsets operate at frequencies
that may cause interference to TVs and VCRs. To minimize or prevent such
interference, do not place the headset charger of the cordless headset near
or on top of a TV or VCR. If interference is experienced, moving the cordless
headset farther away from the TV or VCR will often reduce or eliminate the
interference.
• Rechargeable batteries: This product contains lithium-ion rechargeable
batteries. Exercise care in handling batteries in order not to create a short
circuit with conductive 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.
• Lithium-ion 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.
