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.
8
• 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
cordlesshandsetifthetelephonebaseisunplugged,switchedoorif
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
materialwhichcouldcauseinjury.

20. SAFETY
In the event of an electrical hazard, the mains adapter acts as 120V power
isolating device. It should therefore, as a precaution, be installed close to
the appliance and be easily accessible. To disconnect the device from the
primary power source, the mains adapter must be removed from the 120V
AC/60Hz socket.
If the mains adapter fails, it must be replaced by an identical model.
If not connected to the mains power or if there is a mains power failure,
telephones that use cordless handsets will not work.
You will then be unable to make or receive calls in the event of an emer-
gency.
Therefore, we recommend that you also keep a conventional telephone –
one that doesn’t require a power supply – as a backup.
! Do not use your telephone to notify a gas leak when standing in
the vicinity of the leak.
It is recommended that you avoid using this device during electrical storms.
Do not attempt to open the batteries, as they contain chemical substances.
In the event of leakage, avoid contact with the skin, eyes, nose and mouth.
