Safety Instructions
Caution: Your wireless telephone gives you freedom and flexibility to stay in touch while you move around. However, when using your phone equipment, safety instructions should be followed to avoid the risks of fire, electric shock, injury to person, and damage to property.
General Safety Instructions
- When using your wireless phone, ensure your safety and the safety of others:
- Always watch where you are walking and standing.
- Don’t let a phone call distract you from working safely.
- If power goes out, it won’t work, so back-up power is recommended.
- In an emergency:
- If an emergency occurs, dial the emergency phone number. Remember: if you are in an area where your phone does not have a clear signal from the base, it is highly probable that the call may not go through. Locate the nearest landline telephone or other communications device to call for help.
- Emergency calls may not automatically provide emergency personnel with your name, phone number or location.
- Notice to Hearing Aid Users: This phone system is compatible with inductively coupled hearing aids.
- Notice to Cardiac Pacemaker Users: Preliminary studies done by the US FDA and others have shown that, although interference to the implanted cardiac pacemaker may occur when operating very closely, wireless telephones “do not seem to pose a significant problem for pacemaker wearers.” However, until more is known, FDA suggests that people with pacemakers may want to take precautions when using or carrying a wireless telephone to ensure that there is ample distance between the telephone and the pacemaker. Do not carry the handset in a breast pocket. If you have any reason to suspect that interference is taking place, turn off your handset immediately.
Battery Safety Instructions
- Use only manufacturer approved Li-ion rechargeable batteries and charger. Do not use other types of rechargeable batteries or non-rechargeable batteries. The batteries could short-circuit, and the battery enclosure may be damaged causing a hazardous condition.
- Follow the charging instruction in this manual and instruction labels and markings in the handset and charger compartments.
- The battery should not be charged in the place where the temperature is less than 0℃ or greater than 40
- Battery must be recycled or disposed of properly. Do not dispose the battery in a fire. The cells may explode.
- Do not dispose of the battery in municipal waste. Check with local codes for disposal instructions.
- Exercise care in handling the batteries in order not to short-circuit the battery with conductive materials such as rings, bracelets, keys, pocketknife, and coins. The battery or conductive material may overheat and cause burn or fire.
- Do not expose batteries to rain or water.
- Do not open or mutilate the battery. Released electrolyte is corrosive and may cause injury to eyes or skin. The electrolyte may be toxic if swallowed.
- During charging, the battery heats up. This is normal and is not dangerous.
