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. 

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.
Do not allow anything to rest on the power 

cord. Do not install this product where the 

cord may be walked on.
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

Precautions for users of implanted cardiac 

pacemakers

Cardiac pacemakers (applies only to digital 

cordless telephones):
Wireless Technology Research, LLC (WTR), 

an independent research entity, led a 

multidisciplinary evaluation of the interference 

between portable wireless telephones and 

implanted cardiac pacemakers. Supported by 

the U.S. Food and Drug Administration, WTR 

recommends to physicians that:

Pacemaker patients

Should keep wireless telephones at least six 

inches from the pacemaker.
Should NOT place wireless telephones 

directly over the pacemaker, such as in a 

breast pocket, when it is turned ON.
Should use the wireless telephone at the ear 

opposite the pacemaker.

WTR’s evaluation did not identify any risk to 

bystanders with pacemakers from other persons 

using   wireless telephones.

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.

during an electrical storm. There is a remote 

risk of electric shock from lightning.

15. 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 an environment could create a fire or 

explosion. Such environments might include: 

medical use of oxygen without adequate 

ventilation; industrial gases (cleaning 

solvents; gasoline vapors; etc.); a leak of 

natural gas; etc.

16. Only put the handset of your telephone next 

to your ear when it is in normal talk mode.

17. The power adapters are intended to be 

correctly oriented in a vertical or floor mount 

position. The prongs are not designed to hold 

the plug in place if it is plugged into a ceiling, 

under-the-table or cabinet outlet.

Precautions for users of implanted cardiac 

pacemakers

Cardiac pacemakers (applies only to digital 

cordless telephones):
Wireless Technology Research, LLC (WTR), 

an independent research entity, led a 

multidisciplinary evaluation of the interference 

between portable wireless telephones and 

implanted cardiac pacemakers. Supported by 

the U.S. Food and Drug Administration, WTR 

recommends to physicians that:

Pacemaker patients

Should keep wireless telephones at least six 

inches from the pacemaker.
Should NOT place wireless telephones 

directly over the pacemaker, such as in a 

breast pocket, when it is turned ON.
Should use the wireless telephone at the ear 

opposite the pacemaker.

WTR’s evaluation did not identify any risk to 

bystanders with pacemakers from other persons 

using   wireless telephones.

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.
