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.
Operating range
This cordless telephone operates with the maximum power allowed by the Federal Communications
Commission (FCC). Even so, this handset and telephone base can communicate over only a certain
distance - which can vary with the locations of the telephone base and handset, the weather, and the
layout of your home or office.
When the handset is out of range, the handset displays
Out of range OR Base no power.
If there is a call while the handset is out of range, it may not ring, or if it does ring, the call may not connect
well when you press /HOME. Move closer to the telephone base, then press /HOME to answer the call.
If the handset moves out of range during a telephone conversation, there may be interference. To
improve reception, move closer to the telephone base.
ECO mode
This power conserving technology reduces power consumption for optimal battery performance. The
ECO mode activates automatically during calls. When this mode is on, the handset displays ECO.
Energy-saving charging mode
When this mode is activated, all telephone functions, except handset battery charging, will be disabled.
To activate the energy-saving charging mode:
1. Unplug the telephone base power adapter from the power outlet. Make sure all handsets are plugged
with charged batteries before proceeding.
2. While you press and hold FIND HANDSET, plug the telephone base power adapter back to the
power outlet.
3. After about 20 seconds, when the IN USE light starts flashing, release FIND HANDSET and then
press it again within 2 seconds.
When the phone successfully enters the energy-saving charging mode, the IN USE light turns
off and all handsets display To register HS, see manual.
When the phone fails to enter this mode, repeat Step 1 through Step 3 above.
Note: The telephone base will be powered up as normal if you fail to press FIND HANDSET within 2 seconds in Step 3.
To deactivate the energy-saving charging mode:
1. Unplug the telephone base power adapter from the power outlet, then plug it back in. Then the
telephone base is powered up as normal.
2. Register your handsets back to the telephone base. See page 74 for handset registration instructions.
