IMPORTANT sAfETY INsTRUCTIONs

When using your telephone equipment, basic safety

precautions should always be followed to reduce the risk

of re, electric shock and injury, including the following:

Read and understand all the instructions.

Follow all warnings and instructions marked on the

product.

Unplug this product from the wall outlet before

cleaning. Do not use liquid or aerosol cleaners. Use a

damp cloth for cleaning.

Do not use this product near water (for example, near

a bath tub, kitchen sink, swimming pool) or in humid

areas.

Do not overload wall outlets and extension cords as

this can result in the risk of re or electric shock.

Unplug this product from the wall outlet and contact

TecHelp on 1300 369 193 under the following

conditions:

When the power supply cord or plug is damaged

or frayed.

If the product does not operate normally by

following the operating instructions.

If the product has been dropped and the outer

casing has been damaged.

If the product exhibits a distinct change in

performance.

•

Avoid using a telephone during an electrical storm.

There may be a remote risk of electric shock from

lightning.

Do not use the telephone to report a gas leak in the

vicinity of the leak.

Use only the supplied NiMH (Nickel Metal Hydride)

rechargeable batteries. The operation periods for the

handsets are only applicable with the default battery

capacity.

The use of other battery types or non rechargeable

batteries/primary mobile batteries can be

dangerous. These may cause interference and/or

unit damage. VTech will not be held liable for damage

arising from such noncompliance.

Use only the power adaptors supplied with this

product. Please contact TecHelp on 1300 369 193 for

replacement adaptors.

Please ensure that the batteries are inserted

according to the correct polarity as indicated on the

re-chargeable batteries and the internal markings

inside the handset battery compartment.

Do not immerse the batteries in water, and do not

place them in a re.

Telephone receivers produce magnetic elds that

can attract small metallic objects such as pins or

staples. To avoid injury, do not place the handset

where such objects can be picked up.

LOCATION

Place your VTech 15500/15550 within 2 metres of the

mains power socket and telephone socket so that the

cables will reach.

Make sure it is at least 1 metre away from other

electrical appliances to avoid interference. Your VTech

15500/15550 works by sending radio signals between

the base and handset. The strength of the signal

depends on where you locate the base. Putting it as high

as possible ensures the best signal.

The maximum range between the base station and the

handset is approximately 300 meters.
