Important safety information

When using your equipment, basic safety precautions should always be followed to
reduce the risk of fire, electric shock and injury, including the following:

Safety information

• Read and understand all instructions in the user's manual. Observe all
markings on the product.
• Avoid using a headset during a thunderstorm. There may be a slight chance
of electric shock from lightning.
• Do not use the headset to report a gas leak in the vicinity of the leak. Under
certain circumstances, a spark may be created when the adapter is plugged into
the power outlet, or when the headset is replaced in its cradle. This is a common
event associated with the closing of any electrical circuit. The user should not plug
the headset charger into a power outlet, and should not put a charged headset
into the cradle, if the headset charger 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.
• Install this product in a protected location where no one can trip over any line
or power cords. Protect cords from damage or abrasion.
• If this product does not operate normally, see the Troubleshooting section
of this user's manual. If you cannot solve the problem, or if the product is
damaged, refer to the Limited warranty section on pages 32-33. Do not open
this product except as may be directed in your user's manual. Opening the
product or reassembling it incorrectly may expose you to hazardous voltage or
other risks.
• Replace batteries only as described in your user's manual (page 4). Do not
burn or puncture batteries — they contain caustic chemicals.
• This power adapter is intended to be correctly oriented in a vertical or floor
mount position. The prongs are not designed to hold the plug in place if it is
plugged into a ceiling, an under-the-table or a cabinet outlet.
