Recommendations and safety instructions For safety reasons, never put the handset in the base station without the battery inserted or without the lid on the battery compartment as this could cause an electric shock. To avoid damaging your handset/base, only use certified rechargeable batteries NiMH 1.2 V 650 mAh, never use no rechargeable batteries.

In these cases we recommend adhering to the safety information. Your eircom 9000/9000A has anti-skid pads that should leave no traces on your furniture and ensure stability. However, given the the wide variety of finishes used by furniture manufacturers, traces may appear on surfaces in contact with the parts of your eircom 9000/9000A.
