About cordless telephones
Privacy: the same features that make a cordless phone convenient create some limitations. Telephone calls are transmitted between the base and the cordless handset by radio waves, so
there is a possibility that your cordless phone conversations could be intercepted by radio receiving equipment within range of the cordless handset. For this reason, you should not think of
cordless phone conversations as being as private as those on corded phones.
Electrical Power: The base unit 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 base unit is unplugged or 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
base unit of the cordless telephone near or on top of a TV or VCR. If interference is experienced, moving the cordless telephone father away from the TV or VCR will often reduce or eliminate
the interference. (Applies to 25 channel cordless phones only).
Rechargeable Batteries: This product contains either Nickel-Cadmium or Nickel-Metal Hydride rechargeable batteries. Exercise care in handling batteries in order not to short the battery
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. Like other batteries of this type, if burned or punctured, they could
release caustic material which could cause injury.
