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 and lithium-ion 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.
