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 often reduces or eliminates the interference.
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-metal hydride rechargeable batteries:
Dispose of these batteries in a
safe manner. Do not burn or puncture the battery. Like other batteries of this type, if
burned or punctured, they could release caustic material which could cause injury.
