23AppendixPrecautions for users of implanted cardiac pacemakersCardiac 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 patientsShould 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 rangeThis cordless headset operates with the maximum power allowed by the Federal Communications Commission (FCC). Even so, this headset and telephone base can communicate over only a certain distance - which can vary with the locations of the telephone base and headset, the weather, and the layout of your JQOGQTQHſEGWhen the headset is out of range, the headset earpiece rapidly beeps three times every 10 seconds.If there is a call while the 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. Move closer to the telephone base, then press on the headset to answer the call.If the headset moves out of range during a telephone conversation, there may be interference.To improve reception, move closer to the telephone base.•••
24AppendixAbout cordless headsetPrivacy: The same features that make a cordless headset convenient create some limitations. Telephone calls are transmitted between the telephone base and the cordless headset 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 headset. 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 headset 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 headset if the telephone base is unplugged, switched off or if the electrical power is interrupted.Potential TV interference: Some cordless headsets operate at frequencies that may cause interference to televisions and VCRs. To minimize or prevent such interference, do not place the telephone base of which the cordless headset id registered near or on top of a TV or VCR. If interference is experienced, moving the cordless headset farther away from the TV or VCR often reduces or eliminates the interference.•••MaintenanceTaking care of your telephoneYour cordless headset contains sophisticated electronic parts, so it must be treated with care.Avoid rough treatmentPlace the headset down gently. Save the original packing materials to protect your headset if you ever need to ship it.Avoid waterYour headset can be damaged if it gets wet. Do not use the headset outdoors in the rain, or handle it with wet hands. Do not install the headset charger near a sink, bathtub or shower.Electrical stormsElectrical storms can sometimes cause power surges harmful to electronic equipment. For your own safety, take caution when using electrical appliances during storms.Cleaning your headsetYour headset has a durable plastic casing that should retain its luster for many years.
