6 Guidelines for Safe and Efficient Use
should only be performed by Authorized Service
Centers.
Do not allow objects to fall on, or liquids to spill on
products.
Connect AC (power supply) only to designated
power sources as marked on the product.
To reduce risk of damage, remove the electrical cord
from the outlet by pulling the AC adapter rather
than the cord.
Make sure the electric cord is located so that it will
not be stepped on, tripped over, or otherwise sub-
jected to damage or stress.
To reduce risk of electric shock, unplug the unit
from the power source before attempting any clean-
ing. Once unplugged, use a soft cloth lightly damp-
ened with water for cleaning.
DANGER - Never alter the AC cord or plug. If the
plug will not fit into the outlet, have a proper outlet
installed by a qualified electrician. Improper con-
nection can result in risk of electric shock.
Use only the supplied or an approved replacement
antenna. Unauthorized antennas, modifications, or
attachments could damage the phone and may vio-
late FCC regulations.
Don’t continue to twist the antenna after it has
been inserted. Excess twisting will damage the
antenna.
Be cautious if removing your antenna. A detached
antenna may be a choking hazard for children.
How to use your phone for optimum performance with
minimum power consumption:
Hold the phone as you would any other telephone.
While speaking directly into the mouthpiece, angle
the antenna in a direction up and over your shoul-
der. If the antenna is extendable/retractable, it
should be extended during a call.
hold the antenna when the phone is in use.
Holding the antenna affects call quality, may cause
the phone to operate at a higher power level than
needed and shortens talk and standby times.
