Safety information

Only use the power supply suitable for the BT Elements range. Using an unauthorised power supply will invalidate your guarantee and may damage the telephone. The item code for the base mains power supply is 028771 and the item code for the charger mains power supply is 030989.

Never dispose of batteries in a fire. There is a serious risk of explosion and/or the release of highly toxic chemicals.

Never look directly at the torch light, or shine it into the eyes.

Cleaning

Use only the approved rechargeable batteries supplied. Spare rechargeable batteries are available from the BT Elements Helpline on 0870 605 8047.

Do not open the handset (except to replace the handset batteries) or the base. This could expose you to high voltages or other risks. Contact the Helpline on 0870 605 8047 for all repairs.

If the keylock is switched on, it is NOT possible to make calls, including to the emergency numbers (999/112).

Radio signal transmitted between the handset and base may cause interference to hearing aids.

It is recommended that advice from a qualified expert be sought before using this product in the vicinity of emergency/intensive care medical equipment.

It is recommended that if you have a pacemaker fitted you check with a medical expert before using this product.

Your product may interfere with other electrical equipment, e.g. TV and radio sets, clock/alarms and computers if placed too close. It is recommended that you place your product at least one metre away from such appliances to minimise any risk of interference.

Clean the handset and base (or charger) with a damp (not wet) cloth, or an anti-static wipe. Never use household polish as this will damage the product. Never use a dry cloth as this may cause a static shock.

Environmental

Do not expose to direct sunlight.

The handset may become warm when the batteries are being charged or during prolonged periods of use. This is normal. However, we recommend that to avoid damage you do not place the product on antique/veneered wood.

Do not stand your product on carpets or other surfaces which generate fibres, or place it in locations preventing the free flow of air over its surfaces.

Do not submerge any part of your product in water.

Do not expose your product to fire, explosive or other hazardous conditions.

There is a slight chance your phone could be damaged by an electrical storm. We recommend that you unplug the power and telephone line cord during an electrical storm.

If you experience any problems, please call the Helpline on 0870 605 8047 or email bt.helpdesk@suncorptech.com
