-
Avoid placing the telephone system in places with extreme temperature, direct sunlight, or other electrical devices. Protect your phone from moisture, dust, corrosive liquids and fumes.
-
Slots and openings in the back or bottom of the telephone base and handset are provided for ventilation. To protect them from overheating, these openings must not be blocked by placing the product on a soft surface such as a bed, sofa or rug. This product should never be placed near or over a radiator or heat register. This product should not be placed in any area where proper ventilation is not provided.
-
This product should be operated only from the type of power source indicated on the marking label. If you are not sure of the type of power supply in your home or office, consult your dealer or local power company.
-
Do not allow anything to rest on the power cord. Do not install this product where the cord may be walked on.
-
Never push objects of any kind into this product through the slots in the telephone base or handset because they may touch dangerous voltage points or create a short circuit. Never spill liquid of any kind on the product.
-
To reduce the risk of electric shock, do not disassemble this product, but take it to an authorized service facility. Opening or removing parts of the telephone base or handset other than specified access doors may expose you to dangerous voltages or other risks. Incorrect reassembling can cause electric shock when the product is subsequently used.
-
Do not overload wall outlets and extension cords.
-
Unplug this product from the wall outlet and refer servicing to an authorized service facility under the following conditions:
- When the power supply cord or plug is damaged or frayed.
- If liquid has been spilled onto the product.
- If the product has been exposed to rain or water.
- If the product does not operate normally by following the operating instructions. Adjust only those controls that are covered by the operation instructions.

- If the product has been dropped and the telephone base and/or handset has been damaged.
- If the product exhibits a distinct change in performance.
-
Avoid using a telephone (other than cordless) during an electrical storm. There is a remote risk of electric shock from lightning.
-
Do not use the telephone to report a gas leak in the vicinity of the leak. Under certain circumstances, a spark may be created when the adapter is plugged into the power
outlet, or when the handset is replaced in its cradle. This is a common event associated with the closing of any electrical circuit. The user should not plug the phone into a power outlet, and should not put a charged handset into the cradle, if the phone is located in an environment containing concentrations of flammable or flame-supporting gases, unless there is adequate ventilation. A spark in such an environment could create a fire or explosion. Such environments might include: medical use of oxygen without adequate ventilation; industrial gases (cleaning solvents; gasoline vapors; etc.); a leak of natural gas; etc. -
Only put the handset of your telephone next to your ear when it is in normal talk mode.
-
The power adapter is intended to be correctly oriented in a vertical or floor mount position. The prongs are not designed to hold the plug in place if it is plugged into a ceiling, under-the-table or cabinet outlet.
-
For pluggable equipment, the socket-outlet shall be installed near the equipment and shall be easily accessible.
-
CAUTION: Use only the batteries indicated in this manual. There may be a risk of explosion if a wrong type of battery is used for the handset. Use only the supplied rechargeable batteries or replacement batteries (BT183342/BT283342) for the handset. Do not dispose of batteries in a fire. They may explode.
- Do not use the battery in following conditions:
- High or low extreme temperature during use, storage or transportation.
- Replacement of a battery with an incorrect type that can defeat a safeguard.
- Disposal of a battery into fire or a hot oven, or mechanically crushing or cutting of a battery, that can result in an explosion.
- Leaving a battery in an extremely high temperature surrounding environment that can result in an explosion or the leakage of flammable liquid or gas.
- A battery subjected to extremely low air pressure that can result in an explosion or the leakage of flammable liquid or gas.
-
Use only the adapter included with this product. Incorrect adapter polarity or voltage can seriously damage the product.

Precautions for users of implanted cardiac pacemakers
Cardiac 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.

General product care
Taking care of your telephone
Your cordless telephone contains sophisticated electronic parts, so it must be
treated with care.
Avoid rough treatment
Place the handset down gently. Save the original packing materials to protect
your telephone if you ever need to ship it.
Avoid water
Your telephone can be damaged if it gets wet. Do not use the handset outdoors
in the rain, or handle it with wet hands. Do not install the telephone base
near a sink, bathtub or shower.
Electrical storms
Electrical storms can sometimes cause power surges harmful to electronic
equipment. For your own safety, take caution when using electrical appliances
during storms.
Cleaning your telephone

many years. Clean it only with a dry non-abrasive cloth. Do not use dampened
cloth or cleaning solvents of any kind.
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.

The RBRC® seal
The RBRC® seal on the nickel-metal hydride battery indicates that VTech
Communications, Inc. is voluntarily participating in an industry program to
collect and recycle these batteries at the end of their useful lives, when
taken out of service within the United States and Canada.
The RBRC® program provides a convenient alternative to placing used nickel-
metal hydride batteries into the trash or municipal waste, which may be
illegal in your area.
VTech’s participation in RBRC® makes it easy for you to drop off the spent
battery at local retailers participating in the RBRC® program or at authorized
VTech product service centers. Please call 1 (800) 8 BATTERY® for information
on Ni-MH battery recycling and disposal bans/restrictions in your area.
VTech’s involvement in this program is part of its commitment to protecting
our environment and conserving natural resources.
