Like every cordless phone, this handset uses radio signals which do not always guarantee a connec-
tion establishment in all circumstances. Therefore as a rule you should never rely solely on cordless
phones for essential communication (e.g. medical emergencies).
Electricity supply/power failure/battery
This product requires an AC supply for the use of the charging point. The electricity can only be dis-
connected from the charging point when the mains adapter is taken out of the socket.
If there is a power failure, all saved information (program and user data) is retained without
changes.
Important advice on the battery can be found in the section "Precautions when handling the bat-
tery".
Safety
The charging point can only be installed and used in a closed building.
Place the charging point on a non-slip mat.
Do not install the charging point and the handset near:
• Water, moisture or damp areas (e.g. bathroom)
• Sources of heat, direct sunlight or unventilated areas
• Devices, which produce strong magnetic fields, electronic devices, fluorescent lamps, computers,
radio devices, televisions or fax/phone devices
• Areas where the device could be covered, or where its ventilation could be obstructed, or where
water could run into it
• Dusty areas, and areas which are subject to vibrations, jolting or extreme temperature fluctua-
tions.
The following advice must be observed without fail when installing, connecting and operating the
phone:
• Position the connecting cable where it will not cause accidents.

medical devices. Therefore when using portable phones within medical facilities, comply with the
regulations of the institution concerned.

- touch the plug contacts with sharp or metallic objects.
- carry the charging point by the connecting cable.

Advice for hearing aid users
Before using the handset, hearing aid users should be aware that the radio signal will engage with
the hearing aid and could cause an unpleasant buzzing noise at sufficient volumes.
