Safety information: This telephone is not designed for making emergency telephone calls when the power fails. An
alternative should be made available for access to emergency calls.
Power requirements: The product requires an electrical supply of 220-240 volts, single phase alternating current,
excluding IT installations dened in standard EN 60950.
Battery requirements: The handset requires power source of two rechargeable NiMH batteries, size AAA 1.2V
650mAh (HR10/44).
WARNING! The electrical network is classied as dangerous according to criteria in the standard EN 60950. The
only way to power down this product is by unplugging the power supply from the electrical outlet. Ensure the electrical
outlet is located close to the apparatus and is always easily accessible.
Telephone connection: The voltage on the network is classied as TNV-3 (Telecommunication Network Voltages, as
dened in the standard EN 60950). Following a power cut, the call in progress is lost.
Safety precautions:
• Do not allow the handset to come into contact with liquids or moisture.
• Do not open the handset, base station or charger. This could expose you to high voltages.
• Do not allow the charging contacts or the battery to come into contact with conductive materials.
• There is a slight chance that the telephone could be damaged by an electrical storm. It is recommended that
users unplug the phone from the mains supply and telephone socket during a storm.
• Do not use the handset in an explosive hazard area such as where there is gas leaking.
Environmental care: Please remember to observe the local regulations regarding the disposal of your packaging
materials, exhausted batteries and old phone and where possible promote their recycling.
Because the phone works by sending radio signals between the base unit and the handset, wearers of hearing aids may
experience interference in the form of a humming noise.
We advise that this phone should not be used near intensive care medical equipment or by persons with pacemakers.
Your phone can interfere with electrical equipment such as answering machines, TV and radio sets, clock radios and computers if
placed too close. It is recommended that you position the base unit at least one meter from such appliances.
