Operating range

This cordless telephone operates with the 

maximum power allowed by the Federal

home or office.

consumption for optimal battery performance. 

The ECO mode activates automatically whenever 

the handset is synchronized with the telephone 

base.

General product care

Taking care of your telephone

Your cordless telephone contains sophisticated 

electronic parts, so it must be treated with care.

Avoid rough treatment

Place the handset down gently. Save the original 

packing materials to protect your telephone if you 

ever need to ship it.

Avoid water

Your telephone can be damaged if it gets wet. 

Do not use the handset outdoors in the rain, 

or handle it with wet hands. Do not install the 

telephone base near a sink, bathtub or shower.

Electrical storms

Electrical storms can sometimes cause power 

surges harmful to electronic equipment. For your 

own safety, take caution when using electrical 

appliances during storms.

Cleaning your telephone

Your telephone has a durable plastic casing that 

should retain its luster for many years. Clean it 

only with a dry non-abrasive cloth. Do not use 

dampened cloth or cleaning solvents of any kind.

Important safety instructions

When using your telephone equipment, basic safety 

precautions should always be followed to reduce the 

risk of fire, electric shock and injury, including the 

following:
1. 

Read and understand all instructions.

2.  Follow all warnings and instructions marked on 

the product.

3.  Unplug this product from the wall outlet before 

cleaning. Do not use liquid or aerosol cleaners. 

Use a damp cloth for cleaning.

4.  Do not use this product near water such as 

near a bath tub, wash bowl, kitchen sink, 

laundry tub or a swimming pool, or in a wet 

basement or shower.

5.  Do not place this product on an unstable table, 

shelf, stand or other unstable surfaces.

6.  Slots and openings in the back or bottom of the 

telephone base and handset are provided for 

ventilation. To protect them from overheating, 

these openings must not be blocked by placing 

the product on a soft surface such as a bed, 

sofa or rug. This product should never be 

placed near or over a radiator or heat register. 

This product should not be placed in any area 

where proper ventilation is not provided.

7. 

This product should be operated only from the 

type of power source indicated on the marking 

label. If you are not sure of the type of power 

supply in your home or office, consult your 

dealer or local power company.

8.  Do not allow anything to rest on the power cord. 

Do not install this product where the cord may 

be walked on.

9.  Never push objects of any kind into this product 

through the slots in the telephone base or 

handset because they may touch dangerous 

voltage points or create a short circuit. Never 

spill liquid of any kind on the product.

10.  To reduce the risk of electric shock, do not 

disassemble this product, but take it to an 

authorized service facility. Opening or removing 

parts of the telephone base or handset other 

than specified access doors may expose you 

to dangerous voltages or other risks. Incorrect 

reassembling can cause electric shock when 

the product is subsequently used.

11.  Do not overload wall outlets and extension 

cords.

12.  Unplug this product from the wall outlet and 

refer servicing to an authorized service facility 

under the following conditions:

• 

When the power supply cord or plug is 

damaged or frayed.

• 

If liquid has been spilled onto the product.

• 

If the product has been exposed to rain or 

water.

• 

If the product does not operate normally by 

following the operating instructions. Adjust 

only those controls that are covered by the 

operation instructions. Improper adjustment 

of other controls may result in damage 

and often requires extensive work by an 

authorized technician to restore the product 

to normal operation.

• 

If the product has been dropped and the 

telephone base and/or handset has been 

damaged.

• 

If the product exhibits a distinct change in 

performance.

13.  Avoid using a telephone (other than cordless) 

during an electrical storm. There is a remote 

risk of electric shock from lightning.

14.  Do not use the telephone to report a gas 

leak in the vicinity of the leak. Under certain 

circumstances, a spark may be created 

when the adapter is plugged into the power 

outlet, or when the handset is replaced in its 

cradle. This is a common event associated 

with the closing of any electrical circuit. The 

user should not plug the phone into a power 

outlet, and should not put a charged handset 

into the cradle, if the phone is located in an 

environment containing concentrations of 

flammable or flame-supporting gases, unless 

there is adequate ventilation. A spark in such
