Especially 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 handset by radio waves, so there is a possibility that your 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 which is not controlled by a wall switch.

Calls cannot be made from the 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 TVs 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 nickel-metal hydride 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.

• 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.

The RBRC™ Seal means that the manufacturer is voluntarily

participating in an industry program to collect and recycle nickel-

metal hydride rechargeable batteries when taken out of service

within the United States. These batteries may be taken to a

participating local retailer of replacement batteries or recycling

center. You may call 1 (800) 8-BATTERY for locations accepting

spent Ni-MH batteries.
