Note
Only use the charger
plug supplied. Do not
use other chargers, as
this may damage the
batteries cells.
The wall outlet for the
power supply must be
close and accessible.
Only use rechargeable
batteries of the
same type. Place the
batteries with correct
polarity inside the
battery compartment
(polarity is marked
inside the handset).
Never use normal
non-rechargeable
batteries.
As this telephone cannot
be used in case of a power
cut, you should use a mains-

Electrical safety and protection:

Do not operate the equipment if the mains plug,
cable or the hardware itself is damaged.
If the equipment is dropped or subject to shock,
it must be checked by an authorised technician
before further use.
Dangerous voltages are present inside the
equipment. Never open the housing or insert
objects through the ventilation holes.
Do not allow liquids to get into the equipment. In
case of emergency, pull out the plug from
the socket.
Similarly, if a fault develops during use or before you
start to clean the equipment, pull the plug out if
the socket.
Do not touch the charger and plug contacts with
sharp or metal objects.
Do not carry out any modifications or repairs to
the equipment yourself. Have repairs done to the
equipment or the mains cable only by a specialist
service centre. Unsatisfactory repairs can lead to
considerable danger for the user.
Children frequently underestimate the dangers
associated with electrical equipment. Therefore
you must never leave children unsupervised in the
vicinity of electrical equipment.
The equipment is not to be used in a damp room
(e.g. bathrooms) or rooms where there is a lot
of dust.
Equipment connected to the mains during a
thunderstorm can be damaged by lightning.
Therefore you should pull the plug out of the mains
socket during a storm.
To completely disconnect the equipment from the
electricity supply, the plug must be removed from
the socket. When doing this always pull on the plug
itself and never on the cable.
Protect the mains cable from hot surfaces or other
sources of damage and do not allow it to become
constrained.
Check the mains cable regularly for any damage.
Unwind the mains cable completely before use.
Make sure that the mains cable does not represent
a trip hazard.
The operation of some medical devices may be
affected by the operation of this equipment.
The handset may cause a buzzing sound in
hearing aids.

Fire safety:

This equipment generates heat through normal
usage and therefore to avoid risk of fire or other
hazards and damage to the hardware,
please observe the following:
ensure the equipment is kept away from direct
sunlight and any external heat sources, such
as heaters
ensure any vents on the equipment are not
blocked or obstructed in any way

Danger of explosion:

Do not dispose of batteries in a fire.

Poisoning danger:

Keep batteries out of the reach of children.
Disposal of the device
(environment)
At the end of the product lifecycle, you
should not dispose of this product with
normal household garbage. Instead,
bring the product to a collection point
for recycling electrical and electronic
equipment.
Please contact your local authorities if you require
more information on the collection points in
your area.

Cleaning

Clean your BoB
handset with a slightly damp cloth
TM
or with an anti-static cloth. Never use cleaning
agents or abrasive solvents.

ECO mode (low-radiation)

This handset (compliant with the DECT standard)
facilitates low-radiation operation. The radiation
intensity of the radio signal between the base
station and handset is reduced to a minimum when
the handset is on the base station. Only when the
handset is removed from the base station or a call
is received does the radiation intensity of the radio
signal increase to the normal strength.
This does not mean that normal DECT radiation
is harmful. The low-radiation mode prevents
unnecessary DECT radiation load when no
communication is required between the base
station and handset.
For technical reasons, no additional handsets can
be operated in low-radiation mode (an additional
handset that is not located in the immediate vicinity
of the base station would always be "searching for
base station" due to the weak
radio signal).
Low-radiation mode is enabled in the factory
settings. Low-radiation mode is automatically
disabled if you log on an additional handset.
