About Cordless Telephones
Privacy: The same features that make a cordless telephone 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 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. The electrical outlet should not be controlled by a wall switch. Calls cannot be made from the cordless
handset if the telephone base 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 telephone base 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 telephones only).
Rechargeable Battery (ies): This product contains either Nickel-Cadmium or Nickel-Metal Hydride
rechargeable battery (ies). Exercise care in handling battery (ies) 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 Battery (ies): Dispose of these batteries (ies) in a safe manner. Do
not burn or puncture. Like other battery (ies) of this type, if burned or punctured, they could release caustic
material which could cause injury.
