surfaces.
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.

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

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.
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
