Safety advice
1 Safety advice
The following safety advice must always be followed before using electrical equipment.
Please read carefully through the following information concerning safety and proper use.
Make yourself familiar with all the functions of the equipment. Be careful to keep these
advice notes and if necessary pass them on to a third party.
Electrical safety and protection:
• Do not operate the equipment if the mains plug, cable or the equipment itself is
damaged.
• If the equipment is dropped, then it must be checked by an electrician before further
use.
• Dangerous voltages are present inside the equipment. Never open the housing or
insert objects through the ventilation holes.
• Do not allow liquids to get into the equipment. In case of emergency, pull out the plug
from the socket.
• Similarly, if a fault develops during use or before you start to clean the equipment, pull
the plug out if the socket.
• Do not touch the charger and plug contacts with sharp or metal objects.
• Do not carry out any modifications or repairs to the equipment yourself. Have repairs
done to the equipment or the mains cable only by a specialist service centre.
Unsatisfactory repairs can lead to considerable danger for the user.
• Children frequently underestimate the dangers associated with electrical equipment.
Therefore you must never leave children unsupervised in the vicinity of electrical
equipment.
• The equipment is not to be used in a damp room (e.g. bathrooms) or rooms where
there is a lot of dust.
• Equipment connected to the mains during a thunderstorm can be damaged by
lightning. Therefore you should pull the plug out of the mains socket during a storm.
• To completely disconnect the equipment from the electricity supply, the plug must be
removed from the socket. When doing this always pull on the plug itself and never on
the cable.
• Protect the mains cable from hot surfaces or other sources of damage and do not
allow it to become constrained.
• Check the mains cable regularly for any damage.
• Unwind the mains cable completely before use.
• Make sure that the mains cable does not represent a trip hazard.
• The operation of some medical devices may be affected.
• The handset may cause an unpleasant buzzing sound in hearing aids.
Fire safety:
• The heat accumulated inside the equipment can lead to the defect and/or to the fire of
the equipment. Do not expose this equipment therefore to extreme temperature like:
1. direct sun exposure and heater warmth
2. ventilation holes may not be covered
Danger of explosion:
• Never throw batteries in fire.
4
Getting started
Poisoning danger:
• Keep batteries away from small children.
Note:
• Only use the charger plug supplied. Do not use other chargers, as this may damage
the batteries cells.
• The wall outlet for the power supply must be close and accessible.
• Only use rechargeable batteries of the same type. Place the batteries with correct
polarity inside the battery compartment (polarity is marked inside the handset). Never
use normal unrechargeable batteries!
As this telephone cannot be used in case of a power cut, you should use a
mains-independent telephone for emergency calls, e.g. a mobile phone.

Warranty
15 Warranty
15.1 Warranty period
The Topcom units have a 24-month warranty period. The warranty period starts on the
day the new unit is purchased. The warranty on batteries is limited to 6 months after
purchase. Consumables or defects causing a negligible effect on operation or value of
the equipment are not covered.
The warranty has to be proven by presentation of the original purchase receipt, on which
the date of purchase and the unit-model are indicated.
15.2 Warranty handling
A faulty unit needs to be returned to a Topcom service centre including a valid purchase
note. If the unit develops a fault during the warranty period, Topcom or its officially
appointed service centre will repair any defects caused by material or manufacturing
faults free of charge.
Topcom will at its discretion fulfil its warranty obligations by either repairing or exchanging
the faulty units or parts of the faulty units. In case of replacement, colour and model can
be different from the original purchased unit.
The initial purchase date shall determine the start of the warranty period. The warranty
period is not extended if the unit is exchanged or repaired by Topcom or its appointed
service centres.
15.3 Warranty exclusions
Damage or defects caused by incorrect treatment or operation and damage resulting
from use of non-original parts or accessories not recommended by Topcom are not
covered by the warranty.
Topcom cordless phones are designed to work with rechargeable batteries only. The
damage caused by the use of non-rechargeable batteries is not covered under warranty.
The warranty does not cover damage caused by outside factors, such as lightning, water
and fire, nor any damage caused during transportation. No warranty can be claimed if the
serial number on the units has been changed, removed or rendered illegible.
Any warranty claims will be invalid if the unit has been repaired, altered or modified by the
buyer or by unqualified, non-officially appointed Topcom service centres.
