SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONSBattery· CAUTION: Use Only Supplied Battery. To order a replacement, visit out website at www.vtechphones.com or call 1 (800) 595-9511. In Canada, go to phones.vtechcanada.com or call 1 (800) 267-7377.· Do not dispose of the battery in a fire. Check with local waste management codes for special disposal instructions.· Do not open or mutilate the battery. Released electrolyte is corrosive and may cause burns or injury to the eyes or skin. The electrolyte may be toxic if swallowed.· Exercise care in handling batteries in order not to create a short circuit with conductive materials.· Charge the battery provided with this product only in accordance with the instructions and limitations specified in this manual.Precautions for users of implanted cardiac pacemakersCardiac pacemakers (applies only to digital cordless telephones): Wireless Technology Research, LLC (WTR), an independent research entity, led a multidisciplinary evaluation of the interference between portable wireless telephones and implanted cardiac pacemakers. Supported by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration, WTR recommends to physicians that:

Pacemaker patients· Should keep wireless telephones at least six inches from the pacemaker. · Should NOT place wireless telephones directly over the pacemaker, such as in a breast pocket, when it is turned ON. · Should use the wireless telephone at the ear opposite the pacemaker. WTR’s evaluation did not identify any risk to bystanders with pacemakers from other persons using wireless telephones.About cordless telephones· Privacy: The same features that make a cordless telephone convenient create some limitations. Telephone calls are transmitted between the telephone base and the cordless handset by radio waves, so there is a possibility that the 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, 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 farther away from the TV or VCR often reduces or eliminates the interference.· Rechargeable batteries: Exercise care in handling batteries in order not to create a short circuit 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 batteries: Dispose of these batteries in a safe manner. Do not burn or puncture the battery. Like other batteries of this type, if burned or punctured, they could release caustic material which could cause injury.

ECO modeThis power conserving technology reduces power consumption for optimal battery performance. The ECO mode activities automatically whenever the handset is synchronized with the telephone base.For C-UL compliance onlyMesures de sécurité importantesAfin de réduire les risques d’incendie, de blessures corporelles ou d’électrocution, suivez toujours ces mesures préventives de base lorsque vous utilisez votre téléphone : 1. Lisez et comprenez bien toutes les instructions. 2. Observez toutes les instructions et mises en gardeinscrites sur l’appareil. 3. Débranchez ce téléphone de la prise muraleavant de le nettoyer. N’utilisez pas de nettoyeurs liquides ni en aérosol. N’utilisez qu’un chiffon doux et légèrement humecté. 4. ATTENTION: Ne pas installer le socle téléphonique à une hauteur supérieure à 2 mètres. 5. N’utilisez pas ce produit près de l’eau, tel que près d’un bain, d’un lavabo, d’un évier de cuisine, d’un bac de lavage ou d’une piscine, ou dans un sous-sol humide ou sous la douche. 6. Ne déposez pas ce téléphone sur un chariot, support ou table chancelants. L’appareil pourrait tomber et être sérieusement endommagé. 7. Évitez d’installer le système téléphonique dans les endroits soumis à une température extrême, à la lumière directe du soleil ou à proximité immédiate d’autres appareils électriques ou électroniques. Protégez votre téléphone contre les sources d’humidité, la poussière, les vapeurs et les liquides corrosifs. 8. Le boîtier de l’appareil est doté de fentes et d’ouvertures d’aération situées à l’arrière ou en dessous. Afin d’empêcher la surchauffe, ces ouvertures ne doivent pas être obstruées en plaçant l’appareil sur un lit, divan, tapis ou autre surface similaires. Ne placez pas cet appareil à proximité d’un élément de chauffage ni d’une plinthe électrique. De plus, ne l’installez pas dans une unité murale ou un cabinet fermé qui ne possède pas d’aération adéquate. 9. Ne faites fonctionner cet appareil qu’avec le type d’alimentation indiqué sur les étiquettes de l’appareil. Si vous ne connaissez pas le voltage de

votre maison, consultez votre marchand ou votre fournisseur d’électricité. 10. Ne déposez rien sur le cordon d’alimentation. Installez cet appareil dans un endroit sécuritaire, là où personne ne pourra trébucher sur la ligne d’alimentation ni le cordon téléphonique modulaire. 11. N’insérez jamais d’objets à travers les fentes et ouvertures de cet appareil, car ils pourraient toucher à des points de tension dangereux ou court-circuiter des pièces, ce qui constituerait un risque d’incendie ou d’électrocution. N’échappez pas de liquides dans l’appareil. 12. Afin de réduire les risques d’électrocution, ne démontez pas l’appareil, mais apportez-le plutôt à un centre de service qualifié s’il doit être réparé. En enlevant le couvercle, vous vous exposez à des tensions dangereuses ou autres dangers similaires. Un remontage inadéquat peut être à l’origine d’une électrocution lors d’une utilisation ultérieure de l’appareil. Débranchez l’appareil avant de procéder au nettoyage.

· Chargeur : 6 V CC @ 400 mA

Pile· N’utilisez que la pile incluse ou l’équivalent.· Ne jetez pas la pile au feu. Vérifiez les instructions spécifiques de mise aux rebus auprès des autorités locales.· N’ouvrez pas et ne mutilez pas la pile. L’électrolyte qui s’en échapperait est corrosif et pourrait causer des brûlures ou des blessures aux yeux ou à la peau. L’électrolyte est toxique si avalé.· Soyez prudents lorsque vous manipulez les piles afin d’éviter les courts-circuits provoqués par des matériaux conducteurs.· Rechargez la pile incluse avec cet appareil, selon les instructions et limites spécifiées dans ce guide d’utilisation.Stimulateurs cardiaques implantés dans l’organisme Les simulateurs cardiaques (s’applique uniquement aux téléphones numériques sans fil) : L’organisme `Wireless Technology Research, LLC (WTR)’, une firme de recherche indépendante, a mené une évaluation pluridisciplinaire des interférences entre les téléphones sans fil portatifs et les stimulateurs cardiaques implantés dans l’organisme. Appuyée par l’Administration des aliments et drogues (FDA) des États-Unis, la firme WTR recommande aux médecins :Avis aux détenteurs de stimulateurs cardiaques· Ils doivent tenir le téléphone sans fil à une distance d’au moins six pouces du stimulateur cardiaque.· Ils ne doivent PAS placer le téléphone sans fil directement sur le stimulateur cardiaque, tel que dans une poche de chemise, lorsque celui-ci est en marche.· Ils doivent utiliser le téléphone sans fil en l’appuyant sur l’oreille qui se trouve dans la direction opposée au stimulateur cardiaque.L’étude effectuée par l’organisme WRS n’a pas identifié de risque pour les détenteurs de simulateurs cardiaques causés par les gens qui utilisent un téléphone sans fil à proximité de ceux-ci.

CONSERVEZ CES INSTRUCTIONS

À propos des téléphones sans fil Confidentialité : Les mêmes caractéristiques qui constituent des avantages pour les téléphones sans fil affichent également des restrictions. Les appels téléphoniques sont transmis entre le combiné sans fil et le socle par le biais d’ondes radio ; il y a donc la possibilité que vos conversations téléphoniques sans fil soient interceptées par des équipements de réception radio se trouvant dans la portée du combiné sans fil. Pour cette raison, vous ne devez pas percevoir les communications téléphoniques sans fil comme étant aussi confidentielles que celles des téléphones à cordons. Alimentation électrique : Le socle de ce téléphone sans fil doit être branché à une prise électrique fonctionnelle. La prise électrique ne doit pas être contrôlée par un interrupteur mural. Les appels ne pourront pas être effectués du combiné sans fil si le socle est débranché ou mis hors tension ou si le courant est coupé. Possibilité d’interférences aux téléviseurs : Certains téléphones sans fil fonctionnent sur des fréquences pouvant causer des interférences aux téléviseurs et aux magnétoscopes. Pour réduire ou prévenir de telles interférences, ne placez pas le socle du téléphone sans fil près ou sur un téléviseur ou magnétoscope. S’il y a présence de parasites, il est conseillé d’éloigner le téléphone sans fil du téléviseur ou du magnétoscope afin de réduire possiblement les interférences. Piles rechargeables : Manipulez les piles avec soin afin de ne pas les court-circuiter avec des bagues, bracelets ou clés. Les piles ou le conducteur peut surchauffer et causer des blessures. Respectez la polarité adéquate entre la pile et le chargeur. Les bloc-piles rechargeables à l’hydrure métallique de nickel : Jetez ces blocs-piles de manière écologique et sécuritaire. Ne les incinérez pas et ne les percez pas. Tel que les autres piles de ce type, elles pourraient dégager une matière toxique qui peut causer des blessures corporelles si elles sont brûlées ou percées.
