www.vtechphones.com38Operating rangeThis cordless telephone operates with the maximum power allowed by the Federal Communications Commission (FCC). Even so, this handset and telephone base can communicate over only a certain distance ----which can vary with the locations of the telephone base and handset, the weather, and the layout of your home or ofce. When the handset is out of range, the handset will display CONNECTING. The user can access the handset directory, and certain parts of the menu system, i.e. handset setting, but not the time setting and telephone base setting. NOT AVAILABLE will be displayed if access is denied.If there is a call while the handset is out of range, it might not ring, or if it does ring, the call might not connect well when you press  /FLASH. Move closer to the telephone base, then press  /FLASH to answer the call. If the handset moves out of range during a telephone conversation, there might be interference.To improve reception, move closer to the telephone base.MaintenanceTaking care of your telephoneYour cordless telephone contains sophisticated electronic parts, so it must be treated with care. Avoid rough treatmentPlace the handset down gently. Save the original packing materials to protect your telephone if you ever need to ship it. Avoid waterYour telephone can be damaged if it gets wet. Do not use the handset outdoors in the rain, or handle it with wet hands. Do not install the telephone base near a sink, bathtub or shower.Electrical stormsElectrical storms can sometimes cause power surges harmful to electronic equipment. For your own safety, take caution when using electric appliances during storms. Cleaning your telephoneYour telephone 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 telephone base should fall into water, DO NOT RETRIEVE IT UNTIL YOU UNPLUG THE POWER CORD AND TELEPHONE LINE CORDS FROM THE WALL. Then pull the unit out by the unplugged cords.
www.vtechphones.com 39AppendixAbout cordless telephonesPrivacy: 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 or 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 will often reduce or eliminate the interference. Rechargeable Batteries: This product contains either Nickel-Cadmium or Nickel-Metal Hydride 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. Like other batteries of this type, if burned or punctured, they could release caustic material which could cause injury. •••••WarrantyWhat does this limited warranty cover?The manufacturer of this VTech Product warrants to the holder of a valid proof of purchase (“Consumer” or “you”) that the Product and all accessories provided in the sales package (“Product”) are  free from  defects in material and workmanship, pursuant  to the following terms  and  conditions, when installed and used normally and in accordance with the Product operating instructions.
