they may touch dangerous voltage

points or create a short circuit. Never

spill liquid of any kind on the product.

To reduce the risk of electric shock,

do not disassemble this product,

but take it to an authorized service

facility. Opening or removing parts of

the telephone base or handset other

than speciﬁed access doors may

expose you to dangerous voltages or

other risks. Incorrect reassembling

can cause electric shock when the

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

under-the-table or cabinet outlet.

SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS

Battery

CAUTION: Use Only Supplied

Battery.

Do not dispose of the battery in a fire.

Check with local waste management

•

codes for special disposal instructions.

Do not open or mutilate the battery.

Released electrolyte is corrosive and

may cause burns or injury to the eyes

or skin. The electrolyte may be toxic if

swallowed.

Exercise care in handling batteries in

order not to create a short circuit with

conductive materials.

Charge the battery provided with this

product only in accordance with the

instructions and limitations specified

in this manual.

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.

Mesures de sécurité importantes

Aﬁn de réduire les risques d’incendie,

de blessures corporelles ou

d’électrocution, suivez toujours ces

mesures préventives de base lorsque

vous utilisez votre téléphone :

Lisez et comprenez bien toutes les

instructions.

Observez toutes les instructions

et mises en garde inscrites sur

l’appareil.

Débranchez ce téléphone de la prise

murale avant de le nettoyer. N’utilisez

pas de nettoyeurs liquides ni en

aérosol. N’utilisez qu’un chiffon doux

et légèrement humecté.

N’utilisez pas ce produit près de l’eau,

tel que près d’un bain, d’un lavabo,

d’un évier de cuisine, d’un bac de

lavage ou d’une piscine, ou dans un

sous-sol humide ou sous la douche.

Ne déposez pas ce téléphone sur un

chariot, support ou table chancelants.

L’appareil pourrait tomber et être

sérieusement endommagé.

Évitez d’installer le système

téléphonique dans les endroits

soumis à une température

extrême, à la lumière directe du

soleil ou à proximité immédiate

d’autres appareils électriques

ou électroniques. Protégez votre

téléphone contre les sources

d’humidité, la poussière, les vapeurs

et les liquides corrosifs.

Le boîtier de l’appareil est doté de

fentes et d’ouvertures d’aération

situées à l’arrière ou en dessous.

Aﬁn d’empêcher la surchauffe,

ces ouvertures ne doivent pas être

obstruées en plaçant l’appareil sur

un lit, divan, tapis ou autre surface

similaires. Ne placez pas cet

appareil à proximité d’un élément de

chauffage ni d’une plinthe électrique.

De plus, ne l’installez pas dans une

unité murale ou un cabinet fermé qui

ne possède pas d’aération adéquate.

Ne faites fonctionner cet appareil

qu’avec le type d’alimentation indiqué

sur les étiquettes de l’appareil. Si

vous ne connaissez pas le voltage

de votre maison, consultez votre

marchand ou votre fournisseur

d’électricité.

Ne déposez rien sur le cordon

d’alimentation. Installez cet appareil

dans un endroit sécuritaire, là où

personne ne pourra trébucher sur

la ligne d’alimentation ni le cordon

téléphonique modulaire.

N’insérez jamais d’objets à travers

les fentes et ouvertures de cet

appareil, car ils pourraient toucher

à des points de tension dangereux

ou court-circuiter des pièces, ce qui

constituerait un risque d’incendie ou

d’électrocution. N’échappez pas de

liquides dans l’appareil.

Aﬁn de réduire les risques

d’électrocution, ne démontez pas

l’appareil, mais apportez-le plutôt

à un centre de service qualiﬁé s’il

doit être réparé. En enlevant le

couvercle, vous vous exposez à des

tensions dangereuses ou autres

dangers similaires. Un remontage

inadéquat peut être à l’origine d’une

électrocution lors d’une utilisation

ultérieure de l’appareil. Débranchez

l’appareil avant de procéder au

nettoyage. Utilisez un chiffon humide

et doux.

Ne surchargez pas les prises de

courant et les rallonges.

Débranchez cet appareil de la prise

de courant et communiquez avec le

département de service à la clientèle

de VTech dans les cas suivants:

Lorsque le cordon d’alimentation

•

Si du liquide a été échappé dans

l’appareil.

Si l’appareil a été exposé à une

source d’humidité telle que la

pluie ou l’eau.

Si le produit ne fonctionne pas

normalement en respectant les

instructions de fonctionnement.

Réglez uniquement les

commandes indiquées dans le les

instructions de fonctionnement.

Les réglages incorrects des autres

commandes pourraient provoquer

un dommage qui pourrait exiger

un travail exhaustif de la part d’un

technicien autorisé aﬁn de rétablir

le fonctionnement normal de

l’appareil.

Si le produit a été échappé et que

le socle et/ou le combiné a été

endommagé.

Si le produit afﬁche une nette

diminution de sa performance.

14. Évitez d’utiliser un téléphone (autre

qu’un sans ﬁl) pendant un orage.

Les éclairs peuvent être à l’origine

d’une électrocution.

15. N’utilisez pas le téléphone pour

rapporter une fuite de gaz à

proximité de la fuite. En certaines

circonstances, une ﬂammèche

pourrait être provoquée lorsque

l’adaptateur est branché à une

prise de courant, ou lorsque le

combiné est déposé sur le socle.

Ceci est un événement commun

associé à la fermeture d’un circuit

électrique. L’utilisateur ne devrait pas

brancher le téléphone à une prise de

courant, et ne devrait pas déposer

le combiné chargé sur le socle, si

le téléphone se trouve à proximité

d’un endroit comportant des

concentrations de gaz inﬂammables,

à moins que la ventilation soit

adéquate. Une ﬂammèche dans

un tel endroit pourrait provoquer

•

un incendie ou une explosion.

De tels environnements peuvent

comprendre: des endroits où l’on

utilise de l’oxygène médical sans

ventilation adéquate; des gaz

industriels (dissolvants de nettoyage,

des vapeurs d’essence, etc.); une

fuite de gaz naturel, etc.

16. Ne placez que le combiné de votre

téléphone près de votre oreille

lorsqu’en mode de conversation.

17. Ces adaptateurs ont été conçus pour

être orientés en position verticale

ou montés au sol. Les broches ne

sont pas conçues pour maintenir

l’adaptateur en place si celui-ci est

barnché dans une prise au plafond

ou sous une table/ armoire.

CONSERVEZ CES INSTRUCTIONS

Pile

MISE EN GARDE : N’utilisez que la

pile incluse.

Ne jetez pas la pile au feu. Vérifiez

les instructions spécifiques de mise

aux rebus aupr

s des autorités

locales.

N’ouvrez pas et ne mutilez pas la

pile. L’électrolyte qui s’en échapperait

est corrosif et pourrait causer des

brûlures ou des blessures aux yeux

ou à la peau. L’électrolyte est toxique

si avalé.

Soyez prudents lorsque vous

manipulez les piles afin d’éviter les

courts-circuits provoqués par des

matériaux conducteurs.

Rechargez la pile incluse avec cet

appareil, selon les instructions et

limites spécifiées dans ce guide

d’utilisation.

Stimulateurs cardiaques implantés

dans l’organisme

Les simulateurs cardiaques (s’applique

uniquement aux téléphones numériques

•

sans fil):

L’organisme ‘Wireless Technology

Research, LLC (WTR)’, une firme

de recherche indépendante, a mené

une évaluation pluridisciplinaire des

interférences entre les téléphones

sans fil portatifs et les stimulateurs

cardiaques implantés dans l’organisme.

Appuyée par l’Administration des

aliments et drogues (FDA) des États-

Unis, la firme WTR recommande aux

médecins:

Avis aux détenteurs de stimulateurs

cardiaques

Ils doivent tenir le téléphone sans fil

à une distance d’au moins six pouces

du stimulateur cardiaque.

Ils ne doivent PAS placer le téléphone

sans fil directement sur le stimulateur

cardiaque, tel que dans une poche

de chemise, lorsque celui-ci est en

marche.

Ils doivent utiliser le téléphone sans

fil en l’appuyant sur l’oreille qui se

trouve dans la direction opposée au

stimulateur cardiaque.

L’étude effectuée par l’organisme WRS

n’a pas identifié de risque pour les

détenteurs de simulateurs cardiaques

causés par les gens qui utilisent un

téléphone sans fil à proximité de ceux-ci.

À propos des téléphones sans fil

Alimentation électrique: Les mêmes

caractéristiques qui constituent

des avantages pour les téléphones

sans fil affichent également des

restrictions. Les appels téléphoniques

sont transmis entre le combiné sans

fil et le socle par le biais d’ondes

radio ; il y a donc la possibilité que

vos conversations téléphoniques

sans fil soient interceptées par

des équipements de réception

radio se trouvant dans la portée du

combiné sans fil. Pour cette raison,

•

vous ne devez pas percevoir les

communications téléphoniques sans fil

comme étant aussi confidentielles.

Alimentation électrique: Le socle

de ce téléphone sans fil doit être

branché à une prise électrique

fonctionnelle. La prise électrique

ne doit pas être contrôlée par un

interrupteur mural. Les appels ne

pourront pas être effectués du

combiné sans fil si le socle est

débranché ou mis hors tension ou si

le courant est coupé.

Possibilité d’interférences aux

téléviseurs: Certains téléphones

sans fil fonctionnent sur des

fréquences pouvant causer des

interférences aux téléviseurs et aux

magnétoscopes. Pour réduire ou

prévenir de telles interférences, ne

placez pas le socle du téléphone

sans fil près ou sur un téléviseur ou

magnétoscope. S’il y a présence de

parasites, il est conseillé d’éloigner

le téléphone sans fil du téléviseur

ou du magnétoscope afin de réduire

possiblement les interférences.

Piles rechargeables: Manipulez

les piles avec soin afin de ne pas

les court-circuiter avec des bagues,

bracelets ou clés. Les piles ou le

conducteur peut surchauffer et

causer des blessures. Respectez la

polarité adéquate entre la pile et le

chargeur.

Les bloc-piles rechargeables à

l’hydrure métallique de nickel:

Jetez ces blocs-piles de manière

écologique et sécuritaire. Ne les

incinérez pas et ne les percez pas.

Tel que les autres piles de ce type,

elles pourraient dégager une matière

toxique qui peut causer des blessures

corporelles si elles sont brûlées ou

percées.
