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 either nickel-cadmium
or 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.
