E. If the product exhibits a distinct change in performance
17. Do not use the telephone to report a gas leak in the vicinity of the leak.
18. Do not place this product on an unstable cart, stand, or table.
The product may fall, causing serious damage to the product.
19. Do not allow the charging contacts of the charger or the battery to come into contact with extraneous conduc-

22. Young children should be supervised to ensure that they do not play with the telephone.
23. We advise that this phone should not be used near intensive care medical equipment or by persons with
pacemakers.
BECAUSE YOUR PRODUCT UTILIZES BATTERIES, THE FOLLOWING ADDITIONAL
PRECAUTIONS SHOULD BE OBSERVED:
1. Do not dispose of the battery(ies) in the fire. They may explode. Check with local codes for possible special
disposal instructions.
2. Do not open or mutilate the battery(ies). Release electrolyte is corrosive and may cause damage to the eyes
or skin. It may be toxic if swallowed.
3. Exercise care in handling battery(ies) in order not to short out the batteries with conducting materials such as
rings, bracelets, and keys. The battery(ies) or conductor may overheat and cause burns.
4. Do not attempt to rejuvenate the battery(ies) provided with or identified for use with this product by heating
them. Sudden release of the battery(ies)’ electrolyte may occur causing burns or irritation to eyes or skin.
5. When replacing battery(ies), all batteries should be replaced at the same time. Mixing fresh and discharged
batteries could increase internal cell pressure and rupture the discharged battery(ies).
6. When inserting battery(ies) into this product, the proper polarity or direction must be observed. Reverse
insertion of battery(ies) can cause charging, and that may result in leakage or explosion.
7. Remove battery(ies) from this product if storing over 30 days because the battery(ies) could leak and dam-
age the product.
8. Discard “dead” battery(ies) as soon as possible because “dead” batteries are more likely to leak in a product.
9. Do not store this product, or the battery(ies) provided with or identified for use with this product, in high-tem-
perature areas
Batteries that are stored in a freezer or refrigerator for the purpose of extending shelf life should be protected
from condensation during storage and defrosting. Batteries should be stabilised at room temperature prior to
use after cold storage.

Because the phone works by sending radio signals between the base station and the handset, wearers of
hearing aids may experience interference in the form of a humming noise.
Your phone can interfere with electrical equipment such as answering machines, TV and radio sets if placed too
close. It is recommended that you position the base station at least one meter from such appliances.
Privacy of communications may not be ensured when using this telephone.

Caller ID First Ring Suppression
If you subscribe to caller ID service, your phone suppresses the first ring on your landline ensuring that you can
see who is calling as soon as you hear the phone ring. If you reset your phone to its default settings, first ring
suppression is deactivated. When you receive your next landlinelandline call, your phone automatically detects
whether you have calller ID service and, if so, restarts first ring suppression.
Note:Once first ring suppression is activated, the first ring will be suppressed even if you drop the caller ID ser-
vice. If you have dropped caller ID service and do not wish to have the first ring suppressed, restart the
base station by removing its power supply and then plugging it back in.
Finding a Handset
To find a handset, press and release the PAGE key on the base station.
All handsets that are turned on, registered to the base station, and in standby mode produce the paging tone
and display PAGING for 30 seconds. If an external call comes in, all the handsets stop the paging tone and
play the external call melody.
To stop paging, press any key on each handset or press the PAGING key on the base station again.
Call Records
Your phone keeps a record of calls that you make, receive, or miss. You can view lists of the last 10 calls that you
made, 5 calls that you received, and 15 calls that you missed. The lists include Skype calls and, if you subscribe
to caller ID service from your local telephone service provider, landline calls.
Each record contains a name up to 12 characters long and a number or Skype contact up to 32 characters long.
If the caller’s name is available, the first 12 characters are displayed with the date and time that the call was
received. If the name is not available, the first 12 characters of the caller’s number are displayed with the date
and time.
If a caller’s number matches a phone number stored in the phonebook, the phonebook name is displayed instead
of the caller ID name.
Each handset has its own call record lists, so you can delete records on one handset while keeping them on
another.

Your telephone equipment is approved for connection to the Public Switched Telephone Network and is in
compliance with parts 15 and 68, FCC Rules and Regulations and the Technical Requirements for Telephone
Terminal Equipment published by ACTA.
On the bottom of this equipment is a label indicating, among other information, the US number and Ringer
Equivalence Number (REN) for the equipment. You must, upon request, provide this information to your
telephone company.
The REN is used to determine the number of devices that may be connected to a telephone line. Excessive
RENs on a telephone line may result in the devices not ringing in response to an incoming call. In most but not all
areas, the sum of RENs should not exceed five (5.0). To be certain of the number of devices that may be
connected to a line, as determined by the total RENs, contact the local telephone company.
A plug and jack used to connect this equipment to the premises wiring and telephone network must comply with
the applicable FCC Part 68 rules and requirements adopted by the ACTA. A compliant telephone cord modular
plug is provided with this product. It is designed to be connected to a compatible modular jack that is also
compliant. See this document for details.

Electrical pulse noise is present at one time or another. This is most intense during electrical storms. Certain
kinds of electrical equipment, such as light dimmers, fluorescent bulbs, motors, fans, etc., also generate pulse
noise. Because radio frequencies are susceptible to this, you may on occasion hear pulse noise through the
receiver. This is usually only a minor annoyance and should not be interpreted as a defect of the unit.
