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.
