Safety Instructions

Caution: Your wireless telephone gives you the freedom and flexibility to stay in touch while you move around. However, when using your phone equipment, safety instructions should be followed to avoid the risks of fire, electric shock, injury to a person, and damage to property.

General Safety Instructions

1. When using your wireless phone, ensure your safety and the safety of others:
   •  Always watch where you are walking and standing.
   • Don’t let a phone call distract you from working safely.
   • If the power goes out, it won’t work. Recommend backup power.
2. In an emergency:
   • If an emergency occurs, dial the emergency phone number.
     Remember: if you are in an area where your phone does not have a clear signal from the base, it is highly probable that the call may not go through. Locate the nearest landline telephone or other communications device to call for help.
   • Emergency calls may not automatically provide emergency personnel with your name, phone number, or location.
3. Notice to Hearing Aid Users: This phone system is compatible with inductively coupled hearing aids.
4. Notice to Cardiac Pacemaker Users: Preliminary studies done by the US FDA and others have shown that, although interference to the implanted cardiac pacemaker may occur when operating very closely, wireless telephones “do not seem to pose a significant problem for pacemaker wearers.” However, until more is known, FDA suggests that people with pacemakers may want to take precautions when using or carrying a wireless telephone to ensure that there is ample distance between the telephone and the pacemaker. Do not carry the handset in a breast pocket. If you have any reason to suspect that interference is taking place, turn off your handset immediately.

Product Safety Instructions

1. Read and understand all instructions.
2. Follow all warnings and instructions including those marked on the product. Changes or modifications to this product not expressively approved by the manufacturer will void the warranty and the FCC authorization to operate the equipment. Use only manufacturer-provided accessories.
3. Do not use the telephone near the water. Never spill liquid of any kind on this product.
4. Unplug the product from the wall telephone jack and power outlet before cleaning. Do not use liquid or aerosol cleaners. Use a damp cloth for cleaning.
5. Do not place this product on an unstable cart, stand, or table. The product may fall and cause personal injury or damage to the product or other property.
6. Power Outage: In the event of a power outage, your handset charger will not recharge the handset battery, and the base station will not allow you to make an outgoing call or take an incoming call. Both the charger and the base station require electricity for operation. You should have a telephone that does not require electricity available for use during power outages, or have a temporary backup power supply.
7. Slots or openings in the product’s housing are provided for ventilation. These openings must not be blocked or covered. Placing the product on a bed, carpeting, or other similar surface may block these openings and should be avoided. This product should never be placed near or over a radiator or heat register, or in a built-in installation unless proper ventilation is provided.
8. Never push objects of any kind into this product through housing slots/openings as they may damage the product, touch dangerous voltage points or short out parts that could result in fire, electric shock, or injury.
9. 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 to your home, consult your dealer or local power company.
10. Do not overload wall power outlets and extension cords as this may result in fire or electric shock.
11. To avoid electric shock or burn, do not disassemble this product. Send this product to an authorized service center when service or repair work is required. Call Customer Service for locations near you. Opening or removing covers may expose you to dangerous voltages, electrical currents or other risks. Incorrect reassembling of the product may cause electric shock when the product is subsequently used.
12. Avoid using the product during a storm. There may be a risk of electric shock from lightning.
13. Do not place the product where persons can step, trip, or fall on it.
14. Do not place conductive objects over or near the antenna.
15. Do not use the product to report a gas leak while in the vicinity of the leak.
16. Do not install the base station or the handset charger near microwave ovens, radios, TV sets, speakers, or other electrical equipment. These appliances may cause interference to the product or experience interference from the product.
17. Unplug the base station or the charger adaptor from the power outlet and refer to an authorized service center under the following conditions:
    • If liquid has been spilled into the product.
    • When the power supply cord or plug is damaged or frayed.
    • If the product has been exposed to rain or water.
    • If the product does not operate normally by following the operating instructions.
    • If the product has been dropped or the housing has been damaged.
    • If the product shows a distinct change in performance.

Battery Safety Instructions

1. Use only manufacturer-approved Li-ion rechargeable batteries and chargers. Do not use other types of rechargeable batteries or non-rechargeable batteries. The batteries could short-circuit, and the battery enclosure may be damaged causing a hazardous condition.
2. Follow the charging instruction in this manual and the instruction labels and markings in the handset and charger compartments.
3. The battery must be recycled or disposed of properly. Do not dispose of the battery in a fire. The cells may explode.
4. Do not dispose of the battery in municipal waste. Check with local codes for disposal instructions.
5. Exercise care in handling the batteries in order not to short-circuit the battery with conductive materials such as rings, bracelets, keys, pocketknife, and coins. The battery or conductive material may overheat and cause burns or fire.
6. Do not expose batteries to rain or water.
7. Do not open or mutilate the battery. Released electrolyte is corrosive and may cause injury to eyes or skin. The electrolyte may be toxic if swallowed.
8. During charging, the battery heats up. This is normal and is not dangerous.

Getting Started Base Station Installation

There are three possible base station setups:

• Base station alone
• Base station plus telephone answering device
• Base station plus standard telephone

For best performance, maintain at least a distance of 1 meter (about 3 feet) between the base station and other electronic devices (e.g., TV, computer, stereo, fax machine, answering machine, cordless phone, etc.)

1. Install base station antenna. The base station’s antenna port has a reverse-thread connector; to install the antenna or cable, turn counterclockwise; to remove, turn clockwise. Improper installation may damage the connector.
2. Plug the transformer end of the base station AC/DC adaptor into a standard AC electrical power outlet, and plug the other end into the “DC In” jack on the back of the base station.
   • The base adaptor’s DC plug is larger in dimension than the charger’s DC plug. The charger adaptor’s DC plug will not fit into the base’s DC In jack.
   • The base station’s power supply (DC Adaptor) and telephone line should be plugged into a surge protector with phone line protection.
3. Plug the phone cord into the “LINE” Jack
4. A standard telephone or answering machine can be plugged into the adjacent receptacle on the bottom of the base station marked TEL

Handset and Charger Installation

1. Plug the transformer end of the Charger AC/DC adaptor into a standard AC electric power outlet, plug the other end into the “DC In” jack on the back of the Charger.
2. Install the battery pack onto the handset (Press the battery harder, until hearing a “click” sound).
3.  Install handset antenna.
4. Place the handset onto the charger front slot.
5. Fully charge the battery for three hours before use.
6. The phone system is now ready to perform basic functions such as making and receiving phone calls and intercom calls. No base station or handset programming is needed for basic operations.

Note:

1. Handset(s) packaged along with a Base Station are preregistered at the factory. If you have a new handset, you will need to register the handset with the base station in order to be recognized as a member handset by the base(s) and by other handsets. See Handset Registration.
2. Fully charge battery packs before using.
