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.

This cordless telephone operates with the maximum power allowed by the Federal Communications 

Commission (FCC). Even so, this headset, handset and telephone base can communicate over only 

a certain distance - which can vary with the locations of the telephone base, handset, headset, the 

weather, and the layout of your home or office.
When the handset is out of range, the handset displays 

Out of range OR No pwr at base.

When the headset is out of range, the headset earpiece rapidly beeps three times every 10 seconds.
If there is a call while the handset or headset is out of range, it may not ring, or if it does ring, the call 

may not connect well when you press 

 on the handset or 

 

on the headset. Move closer to 

the telephone base, then press 

on the handset or 

 

on the headset to answer the call.

If the handset or headset moves out of range during a telephone conversation, there may be 

interference.
To improve reception, move closer to the telephone base.

Your cordless telephone contains sophisticated electronic parts, so it must be treated with care.
Avoid rough treatment

Place the handset and headset down gently. Save the original packing materials to protect your 

telephone if you ever need to ship it.
Avoid water

Your telephone can be damaged if it gets wet. Do not use the handset and/or headset outdoors 

in the rain, or handle it with wet hands. Do not install the telephone base near a sink, bathtub or 

shower.
Electrical storms

Electrical storms can sometimes cause power surges harmful to electronic equipment. For your own 

safety, take caution when using electrical appliances during storms.
Cleaning your telephone

Your telephone has a durable plastic casing that should retain its luster for many years. Clean it only 

with a soft cloth slightly dampened with water or mild soap. Do not use excess water or cleaning 

solvents of any kind.
