you are not sure of the type of power supplied to your
home, consult your dealer or local power company.
R Use only the specified power supply unit, AC adaptor,
and AC cable.
R Do not attempt to disassemble or modify this product.
Contact an authorised service centre for repairs.
R Never touch the power supply unit, AC adaptor, AC
cable, and power plug with wet hands.
R Do not touch the power supply unit, AC adaptor, AC
cable, and power plug during an electrical storm.
R Do not use the product (excluding the doorphone) in
areas that are exposed to rain, moisture, steam, or
oily smoke, or areas that have excessive dust.
R Do not place objects on the power cables and the AC

trip on the power cables and the AC adaptor.
R Do not allow the power cables and the AC adaptor to
be excessively pulled, bent or placed under heavy
objects.
R Do not overload the power outlet or wiring above the
specified levels. Overloading by having many
connections on one power outlet may cause heat
generation, resulting in a fire.
R Never put metal objects inside the product. Never
spill any liquid on the product (excluding the
doorphone).
If metal objects enter the product or the product
becomes wet, unplug the product from the power
outlet and contact an authorised service centre.
R Do not use a microwave oven or other devices, such
as electromagnetic cookers, to speed up the drying
process of any parts of the product.
R Completely insert the AC adaptor, AC cable plug, and
power plug into the power outlet. Failure to do so may
cause electric shock and/or excessive heat resulting
in a fire. Do not use damaged AC adaptor, AC cable
plug, or power outlets.
R Regularly remove any dust, etc., from the AC
adaptor, AC cable plug, and power plug by
unplugging them from the power outlets, then wiping
them with a dry cloth. Accumulated dust may cause
an insulation defect from moisture, etc., resulting in a
fire.
R Unplug the product from the power outlet if the
product emits smoke, an abnormal smell or makes
unusual noise, or if the product has been dropped or
physically damaged. These conditions can cause fire
or electric shock. Confirm that smoke has stopped
emitting and contact an authorised service centre.
R Hold the main body (not the metal parts) of the AC
adaptor, AC cable plug, and power plug when
unplugging them. Unplugging the AC adaptor, AC
cable plug, and power plug while holding their cords
or cords' plugs may result in fire, electric shock, or
injury.
Preventing accidents
R Do not use the product in health care facilities if any
regulations posted in the area instruct you not to do
so. Hospitals or health care facilities may be using
equipment that could be sensitive to external RF
(radio frequency) energy.
R Do not install or use this product near automatically
controlled devices such as automatic doors and fire
alarms. Radio waves emitted from this product may
cause such devices to malfunction, resulting in an
accident.
R Consult the manufacturer of any personal medical
devices, such as pacemakers or hearing aids, to
determine if they are adequately shielded from
external RF (radio frequency) energy. (The product

the charger. Failure to do so may make the cards or
devices unusable.
R The speaker on the handset is magnetised and may
