Telephone base installation
Choose a central location close to a telephone jack and a power outlet not
connected to a wall switch. The telephone base can be placed on a flat sur-
face or mounted on a standard wall plate. For optimum range and better
reception, place the telephone base in a high and open location.
Avoid placing the telephone base too close to:
• Communication devices such as: personal computers, computer routers,
television sets, VCRs, wireless routers (wireless broadband, wi-fi, or 802.ꢀꢀ)
or other cordless telephones.
• Excessive heat sources.
• Noise sources such as a window with traffic outside, motors, microwave
ovens, refrigerators, or fluorescent lighting.
• Excessive dust sources such as a workshop or garage.
• Excessive moisture.
• Extremely low temperatures.
• Mechanical vibration or shock such as on top of the washing machine or
work bench.

Appendix
Important safety instructions
Especially about cordless telephones
• Privacy: The same features that make a cordless phone convenient create
some limitations. Telephone calls are transmitted between the base and the
handset by radio waves, so there is a possibility that your cordless phone con-
versations could be intercepted by radio receiving equipment within range of
the cordless handset. For this reason, you should not think of cordless phone
conversations as being as private as those on corded phones.
• 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 handset if the tel-
ephone base is unplugged or switched off, or if the electrical power is inter-
rupted.
• Power adapter: The power adapter is intended to be correctly oriented in a
vertical or floor mount position. The prongs are not designed to hold the plug
in place if it is plugged into a ceiling or an under-the-table/cabinet outlet.
• Potential TV interference: Some cordless telephones operate at frequencies
that may cause interference to TVs 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 will often reduce or eliminate the
interference.
• Rechargeable batteries: This product contains either nickel-cadmium or nickel-
metal hydride rechargeable batteries. Exercise care in handling batteries in
order not to short the battery 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-cadmium rechargeable batteries: Must be recycled or disposed of
properly. Do not dispose of in household garbage. Do not burn or puncture. Like
other batteries of this type, if burned or punctured, they could release caustic
material which could cause injury.
™
The RBRC Seal means that the manufacturer is voluntarily participating in an indus-
try program to collect and recycle nickel-cadmium rechargeable batteries when taken
out of service within the United States. These batteries may be taken to a participating local
retailer of replacement batteries or recycling center. Or you may call ꢀ-800-8-BATTERY for loca-
tions accepting spent nickel-cadmium Batteries.

if burned or punctured, they could release caustic material which could
cause injury.
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 had recommended to physicians that:
Pacemaker patients
• Should keep wireless phones at least six inches from the pacemaker.
• Should NOT place wireless phones directly over the pacemaker, such as in a
breast pocket, when it is turned ON.
• Should use the wireless phone at the ear opposite the pacemaker.
WTR’s evaluation did not identify any risk to bystanders with pacemakers from
other persons using wireless phones.

FCC Part 15
This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the requirements for a
Class B digital device under Part ꢀ5 of the Federal Communications Commission
(FCC) rules.
These requirements are intended to provide reasonable protection against harm-
ful interference in a residential installation. This equipment generates, uses and
can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not installed and used in accordance
with the instructions, may cause harmful interference to radio communications.
However, there is no guarantee that interference will not occur in a particular
installation.
If this equipment does cause harmful interference to radio or television recep-
tion, which can be determined by turning the equipment off and on, the user
is encouraged to try to correct the interference by one or more of the following
measures:
• Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.
• Increase the separation between the equipment and receiver.
• Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit different from that to which
the receiver is connected.
• Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician for help.
Changes or modifications to this equipment not expressly approved by the party
responsible for compliance could void the user’s authority to operate the equip-
ment.
To ensure safety of users, the FCC has established criteria for the amount of radio
frequency energy that can be safely absorbed by a user or bystander according
to the intended usage of the product. This product has been tested and found to
comply with the FCC criteria. The handset may be safely held against the ear of
the user. The telephone base shall be installed and used such that parts of the
user’s body other than the hands are maintained at a distance of approximately 20
cm (8 inches) or more. If you choose to use a clipping device, please make sure to
only use the supplied AT&T belt clip.
