Safety information
•
Read and understand all instructions in the user’s manual. Observe all markings
on the product.
•
Avoid using a telephone during a thunderstorm. There may be a slight chance of
electric shock from lightning.
•
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 vapors; etc.); a leak of natural gas; etc.
•
Do not use this product near water, or when you are wet. For example, do not use

or laundry tub. Do not use liquids or aerosol sprays for cleaning. If the product
comes in contact with any liquid, unplug any line or power cord immediately. Do not
plug the product back in until it has dried thoroughly.
•
Avoid placing the telephone system in places with extreme temperature, direct
sunlight, or other electrical devices. Protect your phone from moisture, dust,
