Disposing of old equipment
When your Switel equipment has come to the end of its operating life,
dispose of it at the collecting point provided by your local, public waste
disposal service (e.g. recycling center).
The adjacent symbol on your telephone indicates that the old
equipment
must not be disposed of in normal domestic
waste
.
According to the laws on electrical and electronic apparatus, old
electrical and electronic equipment must be sorted during disposal.
1.9
Note on medical equipment
The telephone operates with a very low transmitting power. The current
level of knowledge from research and technology indicates that such low
transmitting power does not represent a risk to health. It has been
shown, however, that portable telephones, when switched on, can affect
medical equipment. Therefore, never use the telephone in the vicinity of
medical equipment.
There is no evidence to date that DECT telephones affect heart
pacemakers but it cannot be fully ruled out.
DECT telephones can cause an unpleasant humming sound in hearing
aids.
1.10
Temperature and ambient conditions
The telephone is designed for use in protected rooms with a temperature
range from 10 °C to 30 °C. The base station should not be used in rooms
exposed to moisture, such as bathrooms or laundries. Do not locate the
device in the vicinity of sources of heat such as radiators, and never
expose it to direct sunlight.
Do not use the handset in potentially explosive areas.
Prevent excessive exposure to smoke, dust, vibration, chemicals,
moisture, heat and direct sunlight.
1.11
Cleaning and upkeep
Clean the housing surfaces with a soft, dry, fluff−free cloth. Never use
cleaning agents or aggressive solvents. Apart from occasionally cleaning
the housing, no other upkeep is necessary. The rubber footpads on the
base station are not resistant to all cleaning agents. Therefore, the
manufacturer is not liable for any damage caused to furniture etc.
