• Never install telephone wiring during a lightning storm.
• Never touch non-insulated telephone wires or terminals, unless the telephone line has been disconnected at the network interface.
• Use caution when installing or modifying telephone lines.
• Never install telephone jacks in wet locations unless the jack is specifically designed for wet locations.

INSTALLING THE BATTERIES

You will have approximately 60 seconds to replace the batteries before the memories stored in the handset are lost. Please read the instructions before replacing the batteries and have the batteries ready to be inserted beforehand. As a precaution, you may want to write down any stored information you do not want erased.
