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 cordless handset by radio waves, so there is a possibility that the 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. The electrical outlet should not be controlled 

by a wall switch. Calls cannot be made from the cordless 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 televisions 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 either Nickel-cadmium or Nickel-metal hydride rechargeable batteries. Exercise care in handling batteries in 

order not to create a short circuit with conducting 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-cadmium 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.
