If you do not want the headset to ring, press the RING ON/OFF button to turn the ring detector off. After the call, you can press the RING ON/OFF button again to turn the ring detector back on.

33Appendix33MaintenanceTaking care of your headsetYour wireless headset contains sophisticated electronic parts, so it must be treated with care.Avoid rough treatment.Place the headset down gently. Save the original packing materials to protect your headset if you ever need to ship it.Avoid waterYour headset can be damaged if it gets wet. Do not use the headset out-doors in the rain, or handle it with wet hands. Do not install the headset base near a sink, bathtub or shower.Electrical stormsElectrical storms can sometimes cause power surges harmful to elec-tronic equipment. For your own safety, take caution when using electrical appliances during storms.Cleaning your headsetYour headset has a durable plastic casing that should retain its luster for many years. Clean it only with a soft cloth slightly dampened with water or a mild soap.Do not use excess water or cleaning solvents of any kind.•••••••Remember that electrical appliances can cause serious injury if used when you are wet or standing in water. If the headset base should fall into water, DO NOT RETRIEVE IT UNTIL YOU UNPLUG THE POWER CORD AND TELEPHONE LINE CORD FROM THE WALL, then pull the unit out by the unplugged cords.

34Appendix34Important safety informationWhen using your equipment, basic safety precautions should always be followed to reduce the risk of fire, electric shock and injury, including the following:Safety informationRead and understand all instructions in the user’s manual. Observe all markings on the product.Avoid using a headset during a thunderstorm. There may be a slight chance of electric shock from lightning.Do not use the headset 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 headset is replaced in its cradle. This is a common event associated with the closing of any electrical circuit. The user should not plug the headset base into a power outlet, and should not put a charged headset into the cradle, if the headset base 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.Do not use this product near water, or when you are wet. For example, do not use it in a wet basement or shower, or next to a swimming pool, bathtub, kitchen sink, or laundry tub. Do not use liquids or aerosol sprays for cleaning. If the product comes in contact with any liquids, unplug any line or power cord immediately. Do not plug the product back in until it has dried thoroughly.Install this product in a protected location where no one can trip over any line or power cords. Protect cords from damage or abrasion.If this product does not operate normally, see the Frequently asked questions section in this user’s manual. If you cannot solve the problem, or if the product is damaged, refer to the Limited warranty section. Do not open this product except as may be directed in your user’s manual. Opening the product or reassembling it incorrectly may expose you to hazardous voltage or other risks.Replace batteries only as described in your user’s manual. Do not burn or puncture batteries — they contain caustic chemicals.This power adapter is 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, an under-the-table or a cabinet outlet.••••••••

35Appendix35Important safety informationCAUTION CAUTIONSUse only the power adapter provided with this product. To obtain a replacement, visit our website at businessphones.vtech.com or call 1 (800) 595-9511. In Canada, dial 1 (866) 267-7377.Use only the supplied rechargeable battery or replacement battery (model BT291865). To order, visit our website at businessphones.vtech.com or call 1 (800) 595-9511. In Canada, dial 1 (866) 267-7377.To prevent risk of ﬁre or battery explosion, replace with the correct battery type. Dispose of used batteries according to the instructions.Especially about wireless headsetsPrivacy: The same features that make a wireless headset convenient create some limitations. Telephone calls are transmitted between the headset base and the headset by radio waves, so there is a possibility that your wireless headset conversations could be intercepted by radio receiving equipment within range of the wireless headset. For this reason, you should not think of wireless headset conversations as being as private as those on corded telephones.Electrical power: The headset base of this wireless headset must be connected to a working electrical outlet which is not controlled by a wall switch. Calls cannot be made from the headset if the headset base is unplugged or switched off, or if the electrical power is interrupted.Potential TV interference: Some wireless headsets operate at frequencies that may cause interference to TVs and VCRs. To minimize or prevent such interference, do not place the headset base of the wireless headset near or on top of a TV or VCR. If interference is experienced, moving the wireless headset farther away from the TV or VCR will often reduce or eliminate the interference. Rechargeable batteries: This product contains lithium-ion rechargeable batteries. Exercise care in handling batteries in order not to create a short circuit with conductive 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.Lithium-ion rechargeable batteries: Dispose of these batteries in a safe manner. Do not burn or puncture. Like other batteries of this type, if burned or punctured, they could release caustic material which could cause injury.••••••••

You may call 1-800-8-BATTERY® for locations accepting spent Li-ion batteries.RBRC® and 1-800-8-BATTERY® are registered trademarks of the Rechargeable Battery Recycling Corporation.CAUTION CAUTIONSThere may be a risk of explosion if you use a wrong type of battery. Use only the supplied rechargeable battery or replacement battery (model BT291865).Change this product's batteries only in accordance with the instructions and limitations speciﬁed in this manual.As with any batteries, do not allow conductive materials such as rings, bracelets or keys to come in contact with the metallic parts of the battery. The battery or conductor may overheat and cause harm.Do not open or damage the batteries. Released electrolyte is corrosive and may cause injury to the eyes or skin. The electrolyte may be toxic if swallowed.Do not dispose of the batteries in a ﬁre. Check with local waste management codes for special disposal instructions. To prevent ﬁre or shock hazard, do not expose this product to water or any type of moisture.Observe proper polarity orientation between the battery and metallic contacts.Do not disassemble your headset. There are no user-serviceable parts inside. Refer to qualiﬁed service personnel for servicing.For pluggable equipment, the socket-outlet^pshall be installed near the equipment and shall be easily accessible.Precautions for users of implanted cardiac pacemakersCardiac pacemakers (applies only to digital cordless devices):Wireless Technology Research, LLC (WTR), an independent research entity, led a multidisciplinary evaluation of the interference between portable digital cordless devices and implanted cardiac pacemakers. Supported by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration, WTR recommends to physicians that:Pacemaker patientsShould keep digital cordless devices at least six inches from the pacemaker.Should NOT place digital cordless devices directly over the pacemaker, such as in a breast pocket, when it is turned ON.Should use the digital cordless device at the ear opposite the pacemaker.WTR’s evaluation did not identify any risk to bystanders with pacemakers from other persons using digital cordless devices.SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS•••••••••••
