frequency signals. Always follow the manufacturer‘s
directions!
• Recommended MINIMUM distance to the handset: 20 cm
(7'').
• Recommended MINIMUM distance to the base: 100 cm
(39'').
• Do not carry the handset in a breast pocket.
• Hold the handset to the ear opposite the medical device
to minimize the potential for interference.
•
Turn the handset off immediately if there is any reason to
suspect that interference is taking place.
•
FOR THE USA: Do not use if you have a pacemaker.
Other health risks
Do not hold the loudspeaker at the back of the handset
against your ear when the phone is ringing or when
speakerphone is switched on.
Danger of serious,
irreversible damage to your hearing!
If you are wearing a hearing aid
Please note that the handset may cause an annoying
background noise.
Additional safety information
Small children
Your device and its enhancements may contain small parts.
Keep them out of the reach of small children.
Operating environment
Remember to follow any special regulations in force in
any area, and always switch off your device when its use
is prohibited or when it may cause interference or danger.
Use the device only in its normal operating positions. Do
not place credit cards or other magnetic storage media
near the device, because information stored on them may
be erased.
Medical devices
Operation of any equipment emitting radio frequency
signals may interfere with the functionality of inadequately
shielded medical devices. Consult a physician or the
manufacturer of the medical device to determine if they
are adequately shielded from external radio frequency (RF)
energy or if you have any other questions concerning this
topic. Switch off your phone in health care facilities when
signs posted in these areas instruct you to do so. Hospitals
or health care facilities may be using equipment that could
be sensitive to external RF energy.
Implanted medical devices
Manufacturers of medical devices recommend that a
minimum distance should be maintained between a
wireless device and an implanted medical device, such as
pacemakers or cardioverter defibrillators, to avoid potential
interference with the medical device. Persons who have
such devices should:
• Always keep the wireless device more than 20
centimeters (7.8 inches) from the medical device when
the wireless device is turned on.
• Not carry the wireless device in a breast pocket.
• Hold the wireless device to the ear opposite the medical
device to minimize the potential for inter-ference.
•
Turn the wireless device off immediately if there is any
reason to suspect that interference is taking place.
•
Read and follow the directions of the medical device‘s
manufacturer.
If you have any questions about using your wireless device
with an implanted medical device, consult your health care
provider.
SELV (Safety Extra Low Voltage) Compliance
Safety status of Input/Output connections comply with SELV
requirements.
Potentially explosive environments
Switch off your device when in any area with a potentially
explosive atmosphere and obey all signs and instructions.
Sparks in such areas could cause an explosion or fire
resulting in bodily injury or even death. Switch off the
device at refuelling points such as near gas pumps at
service stations. Observe restrictions on the use of radio
equipment in fuel depots, storage, and distribution areas;
chemical plants; or where blasting operations are in
progress. Areas with a potentially explosive atmosphere
are often but not always clearly marked. They include
below deck on boats, chemical transfer or storage facilities,
vehicles using liquefied petroleum gas, and areas where
the air contains chemicals or particles such as grain dust
or metal powders.
Sensitive electronic equipment
The current state of research concludes that operational
DECT phones normally do not adversely affect electronic
equipment. Nevertheless, you should take some
precautions if you want to operate DECT phones in the
immediate vicinity of such equipment like sensitive
laboratory equipment. Always keep a minimum distance
of 10 cm (3.94“) to the equipment even when the phone is
in standby.
Electrical surges
We recommend the installment of an AC surge arrester
in the AC outlet to which this device is connected to avoid
damage to the equipmen t caused by local strikes of
