Diverse Repeater ~ 4th Edition ~ 25th April '01 ~ 3831

Safety information

Use only approved Nickel-Cadmium
(NiCad) or Nickel-Metal Hydride
(NiMH) rechargeable AA batteries for
the additional handsets. Never use
other types of rechargeable batteries or
conventional alkaline batteries. Using
such batteries could lead to a short
circuit or destroy the battery casing.
Recommended batteries should have a
power rating of 600m Ah 1.2V. Batteries
are available from the Diverse Helpline
.
Only use the power supply included
with the product. Using an unauthorised
power supply will invalidate your
guarantee and may damage the Repeater.
The item number for the mains power
supply is C39280-Z4-C174 formally
C39280-Z4-C67.
The Diverse Repeater operates by
transmitting radio signals. These signals
may cause interference to hearing aids.
This product should not be used near
emergency/intensive care medical
equipment and should not be used by
people with pacemakers.
Diverse Repeater can interfere with other
electrical equipment, such as answering
machines, TV and radio sets, clock
radio/alarms and computers if placed
too close. It is recommended that you
place your Diverse Repeater at least
one metre away from such appliances
to avoid any risk of interference.
Never dispose of batteries in a fire.
There is a serious risk of explosion and/
or the release of highly toxic chemicals.
The Diverse Repeater should be wiped
with a damp (not wet) cloth or an
antistatic wipe. Do not use a dry cloth
as it could cause a static discharge
resulting in damage to the Repeater.
The Diverse Repeater will produce a
certain amount of heat during operation.
Equally additional handsets as well as
the chargers can become warm during
charging. Whilst this is entirely safe,
we advise against placing these products
on antique, veneered or wooden surfaces
as damage may occur.
Do not stand your product on carpets
or other surfaces which generate
fibres, or place it in locations preventing
free flow of air over its surfaces.
Do not use the Diverse Repeater and
handsets in damp, humid conditions
such as bathrooms. Do not expose any
of the equipment or batteries to fire or
water.
There is a slight chance that your phone
could be damaged by an electrical
storm. We recommend that you unplug
your Diverse from the mains power and
telephone line socket during storms.
