Important safety information
Especially 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 handset by radio waves, so there is a possibility that your 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 which is not controlled by a wall switch. Calls cannot
be made from the 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 TVs 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 will often reduce or eliminate the interference.
•
Rechargeable batteries: This product contains nickel-metal hydride rechargeable
batteries. Exercise care in handling batteries in order not to create a short circuit
with conductive 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. Like other batteries of this type, if burned or
punctured, they could release caustic material which could cause injury.
The RBRC™ Seal means that the manufacturer is voluntarily participating
in an industry program to collect and recycle nickel-metal hydride
rechargeable batteries when taken out of service within the United
States. These batteries may be taken to a participating local retailer of
replacement batteries or recycling center. Or you may call
1 (800) 8-BATTERY for locations accepting spent Ni-MH batteries.
