Important safety information

This symbol is to alert you to important operating or servicing instructions that may
appear in this user's manual. Always follow basic safety precautions when using this
product to reduce the risk of injury, fire, or electric shock.

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 might be a slight chance of electric shock
from lightning.
• Do not use a telephone in the vicinity of a gas 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.
• Do not use this product near water, or when you are wet. For example, do not use it in a wet
basement or shower, or next to a swimming pool, bathtub, kitchen sink, or laundry tub. Do not
use liquids or aerosol sprays for cleaning. If the product comes in contact with any liquids,
unplug any line or power cord immediately. Do not plug the product back in until it has dried
thoroughly.
