corrective action prior to interconnecting the products.

unless the telephone line has been disconnected at the
network interface.
– Use caution when installing or modifying telephone
lines.
– Avoid using a telephone (other than a cordless type)
during an electrical storm. There may be a remote risk
of electric shock from lightning.
– Do not use the telephone to report a gas leak in the
vicinity of the leak.
