aerosol cleaners. Use a damp cloth for cleaning.
4. Do not use this product near water (for example, near a bath tub, kitchen sink, or
swimming pool).
5. Do not place this product on an unstable cart, stand, or table. The product may fall,
causing serious damage to the product.
6. Slots and openings in the cabinet and the back or bottom are provided for ventilation. To
protect it from overheating, these openings must not be blocked by placing the product

or over a radiator or heat register. This product should not be placed in a built-in
installation where proper ventilation is not provided.

marking label. If you are not sure of the type of power supply to your home, consult your
dealer or local power company.
8. Do not allow anything to rest on the power cord. Do not locate this product where the
cord will be abused by persons walking on it.
9. Never push objects of any kind into this product through cabinet slots as they may
touch dangerous voltage points or short out parts that could result in a risk of fire or
electric shock. Never spill liquid of any kind on the product.
10.To reduce the risk of electric shock, do not disassemble this product, but take it to a
VTech authorized service facility. Opening or removing cabinet parts other than specified
access doors may expose you to dangerous voltages or other risks. Incorrect

work by a VTech authorized technician to restore the product to normal operation.
E. If the product has been dropped and the cabinet has been damaged.
F. If the product exhibits a distinct change in performance.
13. Avoid using a telephone (other than a cordless type) during an electrical storm. There
