9. 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.
10.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

14.Do not use the telephone to report
a gas leak in the vicinity of 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.
12.Unplug this product from the wall
outlet and refer servicing to an
authorized service facility under the
following conditions:

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.
• Exercise care in handling batteries in
order not to create a short circuit with
conductive materials.
• Charge the battery provided with this
product only in accordance with the
instructions and limitations specified
in this manual.
• 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.

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:
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.
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.
• 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.
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

General product care
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.
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.
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 BATTERYTM 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.
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
Your telephone has a durable plastic
casing that should retain its luster for
many years. Clean it only with a dry non-
abrasive cloth. Do not use dampened
cloth or cleaning solvents of any kind.

le combiné chargé sur le socle, si
le téléphone se trouve à proximité
d’un endroit comportant des

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.
CONSERVEZ CES INSTRUCTIONS
Pile
• MISE EN GARDE : N’utilisez que la
pile incluse.
• 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.
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.
• 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.
À propos des téléphones sans fil
• Alimentation électrique: Les mêmes
caractéristiques qui constituent
des avantages pour les téléphones
sans fil affichent également des
