General Information

Warnings

It is very important that you read the User Guide carefully as it

contains detailed information on installation, programming and

operational issues which you will need to be aware of to ensure the

Care Phone operates properly. Following is a list of some of the

important issues and important warnings which you need to be aware of.

This is a summary of the important issues you must still read the

User Guide in full.

Warnings

The telephone is designed for indoor use only. Do not install the

telephone in areas where there is the risk of an explosion, excessive

exposure to smoke, dust, vibrations, chemicals, moisture and heat.

Do not use your telephone during an electrical thunderstorm as it

is possible to get an electric shock. Refer to information

contained in Telstra White pages directory.

The earpiece of the handset may attract small metal objects

such as staples and pins. Care should be taken when placing the

handset near these items.

Setting the receiver volume to maximum may, under some

situations cause ear damage. We suggest returning the handset

volume control to the “0” position after each call.

Do not install in damp locations such as a bathroom or laundry,

do not expose the unit to direct sunlight.
