extensive work by an authorized technician to
restore the product to normal operation.
• If the product has been dropped and the telephone
base and/or handset has been damaged.
• If the product exhibits a distinct change in
performance.
14. Avoid using a telephone (other than cordless) during
an electrical storm. There is a remote risk of electric
shock from lightning.
15. Do not use the telephone to report a gas leak in the
vicinity of the leak. Under certain circumstances,
a spark may be created when the adapter is
plugged into the power outlet, or when the handset
is replaced in its cradle. This is a common event
associated with the closing of any electrical circuit.
The user should not plug the phone into a power
outlet, and should not put a charged handset into
the cradle, if the phone is located in an environment
containing concentrations of flammable or flame-
supporting gases, unless there is adequate
ventilation. A spark in such an environment could
create a fire or explosion. Such environments might
include: medical use of oxygen without adequate
ventilation; industrial gases (cleaning solvents;
gasoline vapours; etc.); a leak of natural gas; etc.
16. Only put the handset of your telephone next to your
ear when it is in normal talk mode.
17. Use only the adapters included with this product.
Incorrect adapter polarity or voltage can seriously
