About cordless telephones
•
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.
•
Nickel-metal hydride rechargeable batteries: Dispose of these batteries in a safe manner. Do not burn or puncture the battery. Like other
batteries of this type, if burned or punctured, they could release caustic material which could cause injury.
