temperature, direct sunlight,
or other electrical devices. Protect your phone from moisture, dust, corrosive
liquids and fumes. 8. 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. 9. 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. 10. Do not allow anything to rest on the
power cord. Do not install this product where the cord may be walked on. 11.
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. 12. 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. 13. Do not overload wall outlets
and extension cords. 14. 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.
Improper adjustment of other controls may result in damage and often requires
extensive work by an authorized technician to restore the product to normal
operation. · 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. 15. Avoid using a telephone (other than cordless) during an
electrical storm. There is a remote risk of electric shock from lightning. 16.
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. 17. Only put the handset of your telephone
next to your ear when it is in normal talk mode. 18. 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. 19. For pluggable equipment, the
socket-outlet shall be installed near the equipment and shall be easily
accessible.

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.
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.

Mesures de sécurité importantes Afin 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 garde inscrites sur l’appareil. 3. Débranchez ce téléphone de la
prise murale avant de le nettoyer. N’utilisez pas
de nettoyeurs liquides ni en aérosol. N’utilisez qu’un chiffon doux et
légèrement humecté. 4. 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. 5. Ne déposez pas ce
téléphone sur un chariot, support ou table chancelants. L’appareil pourrait
tomber et être sérieusement endommagé. 6. 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. 7. 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. 8. 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. 9. 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. 10. 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. 11. 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. Utilisez un chiffon humide et doux. 12. Ne surchargez pas les
prises de courant et les rallonges. 13. Débranchez cet appareil de la prise de
courant et communiquez avec le département de service à la clientèle de VTech
dans les cas suivants : · Lorsque le cordon d’alimentation est endommagé ou
écorché. · Si du liquide a été échappé dans l’appareil. · Si l’appareil a été
exposé à une source d’humidité telle que la pluie ou l’eau.
· Si le produit ne fonctionne pas normalement en respectant les instructions
de fonctionnement. Réglez uniquement les commandes indiquées dans le les
instructions de fonctionnement. Les réglages incorrects des autres commandes
pourraient provoquer un dommage qui pourrait exiger un travail exhaustif de la
part d’un technicien autorisé afin de rétablir le fonctionnement normal de
l’appareil.
· Si le produit a été échappé et que le socle et/ou le combiné a été
endommagé. · Si le produit affiche une nette diminution de sa performance. 14.
Évitez d’utiliser un téléphone (autre qu’un sans fil) pendant un orage. Les
éclairs peuvent être à l’origine d’une électrocution. 15. N’utilisez pas le
téléphone pour rapporter une fuite de gaz à proximité de la fuite. En
certaines circonstances, une flammèche pourrait être provoquée lorsque
l’adaptateur est branché à une prise de courant, ou lorsque le combiné est
déposé sur le socle. Ceci est un événement commun associé à la fermeture d’un
circuit électrique. L’utilisateur ne devrait pas brancher le téléphone à une
prise de courant, et ne devrait pas déposer le combiné chargé sur le socle, si
le téléphone se trouve à proximité d’un endroit comportant des concentrations
de gaz inflammables, à moins que la ventilation soit adéquate. Une flammèche
dans un tel endroit pourrait provoquer un incendie ou une explosion. De tels
environnements peuvent comprendre: des endroits où l’on utilise de l’oxygène
médical sans ventilation adéquate; des gaz industriels (dissolvants de
nettoyage, des vapeurs d’essence, etc.); une fuite de gaz naturel, etc. 16. Ne
placez que le combiné de votre téléphone près de votre oreille lorsqu’en mode
de conversation. 17. Ces adaptateurs ont été conçus pour être orientés en
position verticale ou montés au sol. Les broches ne sont pas conçues pour
maintenir l’adaptateur en place si celui-ci est barnché dans une prise au
plafond ou sous une table/ armoire. 18. Pour le MATERIEL RACCORDE PAR PRISE DE
COURANT, le socle de prise de courant doit etre installe a proximite du
materiel et doit etre aisement accessible.
MISE EN GARDE: Il peut y avoir un risque d’explosion si vous utilisez le
mauvais type de piles pour le téléphone. N’utilisez que les piles rechargeable inclus
ou les piles de rechange (BT162342/BT262342). N’incinérez pas les piles. Celles-ci
risqueraient d’exploser.
20. N’utilisez que les adaptateurs inclus avec ce produit. L’utilisation d’un adaptateur dont la polarité ou la tension serait inadéquate risque d’endommager sérieusement le produit et mettre votre sécurité en péril.
CONSERVEZ CES INSTRUCTIONS 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.

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. 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.
