This cordless operates in the 900 megahertz frequency band. Radio signals in this band
can penetrate small openings and reflect around obstructions more effciently than those
of conventional cordless telephones. This alows the unit to operate in areas that are
typically difficult for cordless phones.
Your cordless telephone operates at the maximum power allowed by the Federal
Communications Commission (FCC). Even so, your handset and base can communicate
only over a certain distance which can vary with the locations of the base and handset,
the weather, and the construction of your home or office.
Cardiac Pacemakers
THE FOLLOWING INFORMATION IS LOCATED AT THE BEGINNING OF THE
CIB
Cardiac Pacemakers (applies only to 900 MHz Digital Cordless Telephones):
Preliminary studies performed at the U.S.. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and
elsewhere have shown that when digital wireless telephones using technology similar to
900 MHz Cordless Telephones are placed very close to implanted cardiac pacemakers,
interference with the operation of the pacemaker can occur. These preliminary studies
show that interference is not likely to occur when there is a reasonable distance between
the telephone and the implanted pacemaker and stops when the phone is set in the
"battery save mode" or moved so that it is more than 3 inches from the pacemaker.
Based on these preliminary studies, the FDA has concluded that digital wireless
telephones "do not seem to pose a significant problem for pacemaker wearers.
Until more is known, the FDA suggests that people with pacemakers may want to take
some simple precautions when using or carrying digital wireless telephones to ensure that
there is ample distance between the digital cellular telephone and the pacemaker -- by not
placing the phone next to the pacemaker implant (for example, in a shirt or coat pocket
directly over the pacemaker implant) when the phone is turned on ready to receive a call
and holding it to the ear opposite the side of the body where the pacemaker is implanted
when using the phone. Consult your physician or medical device manufacturer to
determine if additional precautions are necessary.
Volume Controls
Both the base unit and the handset have digital volume controls. The volume controls for
the speakerphone are located on the front face of the base unit. Press the volume up side
to increase the speaker volume and the volume down side to decrease the volume.
Holding either side down will continuously change the volume setting.
The volume controls for the handset are located on the side of the unit. Press the [^] (up)
or [v] (down) keys to increase or decrease the volume.
Date Code Sticker
The date code sticker can be found inside the handset battery compartment, on the bottom
of the base, or on the pretty box. It specifically indicates where and when the product
was manufactured.
Following is an example of what is shown on the sticker:
940101 B
CPS 2A
Note: If inputting the date code in the FCC field, use the following format:
