In cooperation with the Danish Safety Technology
Authority
(Sikkerhedsstyrelsen) and the U. S. Consumer Product Safety
Commission, GN
Netcom today announces a battery replacement program for
approximately 1.2
million batteries manufactured by Amperex Technology Limited
(“ATL”) and used
in the GN Netcom-branded GN9120 wireless headset. 

Under
rare conditions, it is possible for these batteries to overheat. In
the
interest of public safety, GN Netcom will offer customers
free-of-charge
battery replacements. The headsets were sold to end-users
directly by GN
Netcom, by GN Netcom's sales channel Hello Direct and through
distributors and
resellers from January 2005 through September 2008. 

GN
Netcom is taking action to recover the costs of the replacement program
and
related losses from the battery manufacturer ATL. GN Netcom has been
advised
that it has a solid case against ATL in respect of such costs. In
other words,
the battery replacement program should not affect GN's financial
results
adversely. 

However, until the position with ATL has been
finalized, a negative liquidity
effect relating to the battery replacement
program of up to DKK 85 million
could materialize. The negative liquidity
effect is expected to accumulate over
several quarters. 

The batteries to
be replaced were included in GN9120 wireless headsets, which
are intended for
office use and contact centers. The product consists of three
parts: a base
station, a headset and a power adapter.  The base stations and
headsets are
labeled “GN Netcom” or “GN9120”.  The affected batteries have a
white plastic
enclosure and are labeled “Made by ATL (Amperex Technology Ltd.)”
and “(ATL
P/N 603028)”. The affected batteries have also been sold as
replacement
equipment labeled “GN9120 Battery replacement kit”.

the replacement program can be found on
