Safety information
General
Only use the power supply included with the product. Using an

If the key lock is active, it is not possible to make emergency calls
to 999 and 112.
Do not open the handset or base station. This could expose you to
high voltages or other risks. Contact the Helpline for repairs.
Radio signals transmitted between the handset and base may cause
interference to hearing aids.

The product may heat up when the batteries are being recharged.
This is normal. However, it is recommended that you do not place
the product on antique/veneered wood to avoid damage.

and they will eventually need replacing.
