Power requirements:
The product requires an electrical supply of 220-240 volts, single phase alternating current,
excluding IT installations defined in standard EN 60950.
Battery requirements:
The handset requires power source of two rechargeable NiMH batteries, size AAA 1.2V
650mAh (HR10/44).
WARNING!
The electrical network is classified as dangerous according to criteria in the standard EN 60950. The
only way to power down this product is by unplugging the power supply from the electrical outlet. Ensure the electrical
outlet is located close to the apparatus and is always easily accessible.

•
There is a slight chance that the telephone could be damaged by an electrical storm. It is recommended that
users unplug the phone from the mains supply and telephone socket during a storm.
•
Do not use the handset in an explosive hazard area such as where there is gas leaking.
Environmental care:
Please remember to observe the local regulations regarding the disposal of your packaging
materials, exhausted batteries and old phone and where possible promote their recycling.
Because the phone works by sending radio signals between the base unit and the handset, wearers of hearing aids may
experience interference in the form of a humming noise.
We advise that this phone should not be used near intensive care medical equipment or by persons with pacemakers.
Your phone can interfere with electrical equipment such as answering machines, TV and radio sets, clock radios and computers if
placed too close. It is recommended that you position the base unit at least one meter from such appliances.

Use only the mains adapter supplied with this telephone. Incorrect adapter polarity or voltage can
seriously damage the unit.
