CHAPTER ONE - IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

To prevent severe injury and loss of life/property, read this section carefully before using Around to ensure

proper and safe operation of your product.

• Use only the power supply that came with Around.

• Do not overload power outlets and extension cords. This can result in the risk of fire or electric shock.

• Completely insert the AC adapter/power plug into the power outlet. Failure to do so may cause electric shock

and/or excessive heat resulting in a fire.

• Unplug Around from power outlets if it emits smoke, and abnormal smell, or makes an unusual noise. These

conditions can cause fire or electric shock. Confirm that smoke has stopped emitting and contact Activocal’s

Customer Service line at +972-8-6996911

• Unplug from power outlets and never touch the inside of Around if its casing has been broken open.

• Never touch the plug with wet hands. Danger of electric shock exists.

• To prevent the risk of fire or electrical shock, do not expose Around to rain or any type of moisture.

• Do not place or use Around near automatically controlled devices such as automatic doors and fire alarms.

Radio waves emitted from Around may cause such devices to malfunction resulting in an accident.

• Do not allow the AC adaptor or telephone line cord to be excessively pulled, bent or placed under heavy objects.

• Unplug Around from power outlets before cleaning. Do not use liquid or aerosol cleaners.

• Do not disassemble Around.

• Do not spill liquids (detergents, cleansers, etc.) onto the telephone line cord plug, or allow it to become wet at

all. This may cause a fire. If the telephone line cord plug becomes wet, immediately pull it from the telephone

wall jack, and do not use.

• Consult the manufacturer of any personal medical devices, such as pacemakers or hearing aids, to determine if

they are adequately shielded from external RF (radio frequency) energy. (Around operates in the frequency range

of 2.4GHz, and its RF transmission power is 01mW max.)

Around –User Manual ActiVocal

• Do not use the product in health care facilities if any regulations posted in the area instruct you not to do so.

Hospitals or health care facilities may be using equipment that could be sensitive to external RF energy.

• Never install telephone wiring during an electrical storm.

• Never install telephone line jacks in wet locations unless the jack is specifically designed for wet locations.

• Never touch uninsulated telephone wires or terminals unless the telephone line has been disconnected at the

network interface.

• Use caution when installing or modifying telephone lines.

• The AC adaptor is used as the main disconnect device. Ensure that the AC outlet is installed near the product

and is easily accessible.

• When using Around, basic safety precautions should always be followed to reduce the risk of fire, electric

shock, and injury to persons, including the following:

• Do not use Around near water. For example, near a bathtub, washbowl, kitchen sink, or laundry tub, in a wet

basement or near a swimming pool.

• Do not use Around to report a gas leak in the vicinity of the leak.

FOR BEST PERFORMANCE

Base unit location / avoiding noise

The base unit and the cordless unit use radio waves to communicate with each other.

For maximum coverage and noise-free communications, place Around’s base unit at a convenient, high, and

central location with no obstructions between the handset and base unit in an indoor environment.

Place it away from electronic appliances such as TVs, radios, personal computers, wireless devices, or other

phones.

Place it facing away from radio frequency transmitters, such as external antennas of mobile phone cell stations.

(Avoid putting the base unit on a bay window or near a window.)

Coverage and voice quality depends on the local environmental conditions.

Around –User Manual ActiVocal

If the reception for Around’s base unit location is not satisfactory, move the base unit to another location for

better reception.

Keep Around away from electrical noise generating devices, such as fluorescent lamps and motors.

Around should be kept free from excessive smoke, dust, high temperature, and vibration.

Around should not be exposed to direct sunlight.

Do not place any objects on top of Around’s base.

When you leave Around unused for a long period of time, unplug the product from the power outlet.

Around should be kept away from heat sources such as heaters, kitchen stoves, etc. It should not be placed in

rooms where the temperature is less than 0 °C (32 °F) or greater than 40 °C (104 °F). Damp basements should also

be avoided.

The maximum calling distance may be shortened when the product is used in the following places: Near obstacles

such as shills, tunnels, underground, near metal objects such as wire fences, etc.

Operating Around near electrical appliances may cause interference. Move away from the electrical appliances.

Routine care

Wipe the outer surface of Around’s base and handset with a soft moist cloth.

Do not use benzene, thinner, or any abrasive powder.

Notice for product disposal, transfer, or return

• Around can store your private/confidential information. To protect your privacy/confidentiality, we recommend

that you erase information such as phonebook or caller list from the memory before you dispose of, transfer, or

return the product.
