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.
