• Battery packs should not be disassembled, crushed, punctured, or incinerated under any circumstances.

• Please take extreme care when handling a battery that has been damaged or is leaking. The exposed area should be washed with soap and water if you come into contact with the electrolyte. The eye should be flushed with water for 15 minutes if the electrolyte has contacted it.

• Ensure that the ambient temperature does not exceed 104 degrees Fahrenheit (40 degrees Celsius) when charging the battery pack.

• The battery pack must not be exposed to temperatures above 140 degrees Fahrenheit (60 degrees Celsius) in order to extend its life.

• For local government restrictions on how batteries can be disposed of or recycled, it is recommended that you contact the company that provides waste disposal services in your area.

Please contact your local dealer for more information regarding the purchase of a battery. It is important to only use batteries with Cisco part numbers.

Power Outage

If the base stations are powered, then emergency services can be accessed through the phone if they are connected to the network. There will be no dialing via the Service or Emergency Calling Service if there is a power interruption in the system until power has been restored. It may be necessary for you to reset or reconfigure the equipment in the event of a power outage or interruption prior to using the Service or the Emergency Calling Service.

Regulatory Domains

There is a radio frequency (RF) that is controlled by a base station that controls the radio frequency (RF) for the handset. Depending on the regulatory domain in which the station operates, the base station is configured accordingly. There is a possibility that this system will not function properly if it is being used outside of the specific regulatory domain, and that you might be breaking local laws.

Health-Care Environments

Since this device is not a medical device, its frequency band is unlicensed and there is a possibility that other equipment or devices may interfere with it.

External Devices Usage

When you use the DECT handset with external devices, you will need to take the following steps.

According to Cisco, it is recommended that external devices (such as headsets) used with Cisco Systems systems are shielded against RF and AF signals that may interfere with the communication process.

The level of audio noise produced may vary depending on the quality of the device and the fact that it may be situated near other devices such as mobile phones or two-way radios. There are several steps that you can take in cases like these, and Cisco recommends that you take at least one of them:

• If the external device is near the RF or AF source, move the external device away from that.

• Keep the external device cables at a distance from the sources of signals from the RF or AF transceiver.

• In addition to shielded cables, you can also use cables which have a better shielding and connector for the external device.

• Make the external device cable shorter by shortening it.

• If the cable for the external device is made out of ferrites or other similar devices, apply them to the cable.

Due to the fact that Cisco does not have control over the quality of the external devices, cables, or connectors, Cisco cannot guarantee the performance of the system. When cables and connectors of good quality are used and the appropriate devices are attached to the system, the system will function as intended.

The EMC Directive [89/336/EC] may be used in all countries within the European Union. Do not use external headsets that are not fully compliant with this directive.

System Behavior During Times of Network Congestion

In some cases, if a network performance is degraded, it can lead to a drop in call quality, which can impact the quality of voice over the phone system. There are a number of factors that can contribute to the degradation of the network, including but not limited to:

• A scan of the internal ports or a scan of the security system are administrative tasks

• In the case of a denial of service (DoS) attack against your network, you need to take immediate action

Canadian RF Exposure Statement

IN ACCORDANCE WITH ISED RSS-102 R5 FOR RADIO WAVE EXPOSURE, THIS DEVICE MEETS THE LIMITATIONS REFERENCED IN THE MANUAL FOR THIS DEVICE

There are two radio transmitters and receivers in your device. The device is intended to contain a substantial safety margin designed to ensure that the general population (uncontrolled) does not exceed the limits set forth in RSS-102, which references Health Canada Safety Code 6, so that all persons, regardless of age and health, are protected from the effects of radio waves (radio frequency electromagnetic fields).

This means that the system is designed to be operated in such a way as to reduce any chances of the end user coming in contact with the antennas. In accordance with the guidelines which are designed to reduce the overall exposure of the user or operator to the radiation, it is recommended that the antennas of the system are set at a distance large enough to allow an antenna to remain at least a few feet away from the user in order to minimize their overall exposure.

During the radio certification process, the device was tested and found to be compliant with the applicable regulations and does not need to be modified.

Canadian RF Exposure Statement

RADIO WAVE EXPOSURE LIMITS FOR THIS DEVICE ARE IN LINE WITH RSS-102 R5

There are two radio transmitters and receivers on your device. In RSS-102, which refers to Canada’s State of Health Safety Regulation No., it is designed to limit exposure to radio waves (radio frequency electromagnetic fields) to the general population (not periodically monitored). There is a substantial margin of safety included in the design to ensure the safety of all individuals, regardless of their age or health status.

End users are therefore advised to avoid contacting the antennas when operating the systems. Regulations are designed to reduce the level of exposure to the user or operator. So, it is recommended that the antenna be positioned as far from the user as possible.

Tests conducted as part of the radio certification process found that the device complies with applicable regulations.

Permit to Connect (PTC) General Warning

An item of terminal equipment is only granted a Telepermit if Telecom has confirmed that it is capable of being connected to its network up to the minimum conditions established by Telecom for the item to be allowed to operate. There is no indication that Telecom endorses the product in any way, nor does it provide any sort of guarantee as to the product’s quality. As a general rule, Telecom does not provide any assurances that any particular item will function as expected with other Telepermitted equipment of a different make and model or that any particular item will be compatible with all of Telecom’s network services, or that any specific item will work at all with any specific item.

Use of IP Networks with the PSTN

It is by its nature that the Internet Protocol (IP), by defining and addressing each data packet separately, introduces delay into speech signals. As the TS group recommends, suppliers, designers and installers of telecom networks using this technology for telecommunications services in the PSTN should refer to the requirements of the E Model as they design their networks in order to comply with TS. For calls involving cellular and international networks, which already suffer significant delays, the goal is to minimise delay, distortion, and other transmission impairments.

The Use of Voice Compression Through the PSTN

Calls to cellular and international networks have already experienced extensive delays, some of which can be attributed to voice compression. PSTN voice technology for G711 can only be approved by Telecom Access Standards. A speech encoding technique such as G711 is considered ‘instantaneous’, while G729 and its variations are described as ‘near instantaneous’ and introduce an additional delay to the speech.

Echo Cancellation

As long as CPE return loss is within Telepermit limits, echo cancelers are usually not required in the Telecom PSTN. Echo cancellation is not required for private networks with VoIP technology, but is mandatory for those with Voice-over-IP (VoIP). An echo cancellation time of 64 mS may be required as a result of combined audio/VoIP conversion delay and IP routing delay.
