Safety precautions
Before using your telephone equipment, basic safety
instructions should always be followed to reduce the
risk of fire, electric shock and injury to persons.
1. Read and understand all instructions.
2. Follow all warnings and instructions marked on the
product.
3. Unplug this product from the wall telephone jack
and power outlet before cleaning. Do not use liquid
cleaners or aerosol cleaners. Use damp cloth for
cleaning.
4. Do not use this product near water, for example,
near a bathtub, wash bowl, kitchen sink, or laundry
tub, in a wet basement or near a swimming pool.
5. Place this product securely on a stable surface.
Serious damage and/or injury may result if the unit
falls.
6. Slots or openings in the cabinet and the back and
bottom are provided for ventilation, to protect it from
overheating. These openings must not be blocked or
covered. This product should never be placed near or
over a radiator or heat register, or in a place where
proper ventilation is not provided.
7. This product should be operated only from the type
of power source indicated on the 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 place objects on the power cord. Install the
unit where no one can step or trip on the cord.
9. Do not overload wall outlets and extension cords as
this can result in the risk of fire or electric shock.
10. 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 the
risk of fire or electric shock. Never spill liquid of any
kind on this product.
11. To reduce the risk of electric shock or burns, do not
disassemble this product. Take it to a qualified service
center when service is required. Opening or removing
covers may expose you to dangerous voltages, dan-
gerous electrical current or other risks. Incorrect reas-
sembly can cause electric shock when the appliance
is subsequently used.
12. Unplug the product from the wall outlet and refer
servicing to qualified service personnel under the fol-
lowing conditions:
a.) When the power cord is damaged or frayed.
b.) If liquid has been spilled into the product.
c.) If the product has been exposed to rain or water.
40
d.) If the product does not operate normally by follow-
ing the operating instructions. Adjust only those controls
that are covered by the operating instructions because
improper adjustment of other controls may result in
damage and may require extensive work by a qualified
technician to restore the product to normal operation.
e.) If the product has been dropped or physically has
been damaged.
f.) If the product exhibits a distinct change in perfor-
mance.
13. Avoid using a telephone (other than a cordless
type) during a thunderstorm. There may be a remote
risk of electrical shock from lightning. Therefore we
suggest a surge arrestor.
14. Do not use the telephone to report a gas leak in the
vicinity of the leak.
15. Emergency/911 numbers may not be dialed if the
keypad is locked.
