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 might be a slight chance of electric shock from
lightning.
• Do not use a telephone in the vicinity of a gas 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 it in a wet basement or
shower, or next to a swimming pool, bathtub, kitchen sink, or laundry tub. Do not use liquids or aerosol
sprays for cleaning. If the product comes in contact with any liquids, unplug any line or power cord
immediately. Do not plug the product back in until it has dried thoroughly.
• Install this product in a protected location where no one can trip over any line or power cords. Protect
cords from damage or abrasion.
