Safety precautions

Read this user guide and the safety precautions
carefully before use. Explain their contents and
the potential hazards associated with using the
telephone to your children.
Use only the power adapter sup-
$
plied.
Only insert approved rechargeable
batteries of the same type. Never use
ordinary (non-rechargeable) batteries
as they may pose a health hazard or
cause injury.
Using your telephone may affect
nearby medical equipment. Be aware
of the technical conditions in your par-
ticular environment, e.g. doctor's sur-
gery.
Notice to Hearing Aid Wearers:
This phone system is compatible with
inductively coupled hearing aids.
Do not install the phone in a bathroom
or shower room. The handset is not
splashproof.
Do not use your phone in environ-
ments with a potential explosion haz-
ard, e.g. paint shops.

If you give your phone to a third party,
make sure you also give them the user
guide.
Remove faulty base stations from use
as they could interfere with other wire-
less services.

Disposal
Batteries should not be disposed of in
general household waste. Observe the
local waste disposal regulations,
details of which can be obtained from
your local authority or the dealer you
purchased the product from.
All electrical and electronic equipment
must be disposed of separately from
general household waste using the
sites designated by local authorities.
The appropriate disposal and separate
collection of used equipment serve to
prevent potential harm to the environ-
ment and to health. They are a prereq-
uisite for the re-use and recycling of
used electrical and electronic equip-
ment.
For further information on disposing of
your used equipment, please contact
your local authority, your refuse collec-
tion service or the dealer you pur-
chased the product from.

Emergency numbers cannot be dialed if the key-
pad lock ( page 1) is activated!
Not all of the functions described in this user
guide are available in all countries.

Caring for your phone

Wipe down the handset with a damp cloth
(no solvents) or an antistatic cloth. Never
use a dry cloth. This can cause static.

Contact with liquid

If the handset comes into contact with liq-
uid:
◆
Switch the handset off and remove the
batteries immediately.
◆
Allow the liquid to drain from the hand-
set.
◆
Pat all parts dry, then with the battery
compartment open and the keypad fac-
ing down place the handset in a dry,
warm place for at least 72 hours (not in
a microwave, oven, etc.).
◆
Do not switch on the handset again
until it is completely dry.
When it has fully dried out, you will nor-
mally be able to use it again.
