INT1400 Cordless Telephone User Guide
Save These Instructions
Finally, it should be noted that some cordless telephones operate at frequencies that
may cause interference to nearby TVs and VCRs. To minimize or prevent such inter-
ference, the base of the cordless telephone should not be placed 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.
More Than One Cordless Telephone
If you want to use more than one cordless telephone in your office, they must operate
on different channels. Press the channel button (
) to select a channel that pro-
vides the clearest communication.
Privacy
Cordless phones are radio devices. Communications between the handset and base
unit of your cordless telephone are accomplished by means of radio waves which are
broadcast over the open airways. Because of the inherent physical properties of radio
waves, your communications can be received by radio-receiving devices other than
your own cordless telephone unit. Consequently, any communications using your
cordless telephone may not be private.
Base Units and Handsets
The handsets are programmed to work with a specific base unit. You cannot switch to
a new handset or a new base unit without having it reprogrammed by Mitel.
Battery Packs
The battery packs contain rechargeable, sealed, Nickel-Metal Hydride batteries. To
reduce the risk of fire or injury to persons by the battery:
•
Use only the appropriate type and size battery pack specified in this user guide.
•
Do not dispose of the battery pack in a fire. The cell may explode. Check with
local codes for possible special disposal instructions.
•
Do not open or mutilate the battery pack. The released electrolyte is corrosive
and may cause damage to the eyes or skin. It may be toxic if swallowed.
•
Exercise care in handling the battery pack to avoid shorting the battery with con-
ducting materials such as rings, bracelets, and keys. The battery or conductor
may overheat and cause burns.
•
Do not charge the battery pack used in this telephone in any charger other than
the one provided. Using another charger may damage the battery or cause the bat-
tery to explode.
•
Observe proper polarity orientation between the battery pack and charger unit.
•
Do not short circuit the battery pack.
