When using your telephone equipment, basic safety precautions should always be followed to reduce the risk of fire, electric shock and injury, including the following: 1. Read and understand all instructions. 2. Follow all warnings and instructions marked on the product. 3. Unplug this product from the wall outlet before cleaning. Do not use liquid or aerosol
cleaners. Use a damp cloth for cleaning. 4. CAUTION: Do not install the telephone base at a height above 2 meters. 5. Do not use this product near water such as near a bath tub, wash bowl, kitchen sink, laundry
tub or a swimming pool, nor in a wet basement or shower. 6. Do not place this product on an unstable table, shelf, stand or other unstable surfaces. 7. 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. 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.

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. 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. Utilisez un chiffon humide et doux. 13. Ne surchargez pas les prises de courant et les rallonges. 14. 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. 15. Évitez d’utiliser un téléphone (autre qu’un sans fil) pendant un orage. Les éclairs peuvent être à l’origine d’une électrocution. 16. 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. 17. Ne placez que le combiné de votre téléphone près de votre oreille lorsqu’en mode de conversation. 18. 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. 19. 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.

21. 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.
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. 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.
