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.
