M aintenance T ak ing care of your teleph one Your cordless telephone contains sophisticated electronic parts, so it must be treated with care. A v oid rough treatment Place the handset down gently. Save the original packing materials to protect your telephone if you ever need to ship it. A v oid w ater Your 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. E lectrical storms Electrical storms can sometimes cause power surges harmful to electronic equipment. For your own safety, take caution when using electrical appliances during storms. Cleaning your teleph one Your 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 the water. If the telephone base should fall into the water, DO NO T RETRIEVE IT UNTIL YO U UNPLUG THE PO WER CO RD AND TELEPHO NE LINE CO RDS FRO M THE WALL. Then pull the unit out by the unplugged cords. 54 w w w .v tech ph ones.com A b out cord less teleph ones • P riv acy: 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. • E lectrical pow er: 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. • P otential T V 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. • R ech argeab le b atteries: This product contains either nickel-cadmium or nickel-metal-hydride rechargeable batteries.

Maintenance Tak ing care of your teleph one Your cordless telephone contains sophisticated electronic parts, so it must be treated with care. Av oid rough treatment Place the handset down gently. Save the original packing materials to protect your telephone if you ever need to ship it. Av oid w ater Your 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 storms Electrical storms can sometimes cause power surges harmful to electronic equipment. For your own safety, take caution when using electrical appliances during storms. Cleaning your teleph one Your 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. w w w .v tech ph ones.com 41 Append ix Remember that electrical appliances can cause serious injury if used when you are wet or standing in the water.

Ab out cord less teleph ones • Priv acy: 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 pow er: 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. • Rech argeab le b atteries: This product contains either nickel-cadmium or nickel-metal-hydride rechargeable batteries.
