other than specified access doors
may expose you to dangerous
voltages or other risks. Incorrect
reassembling can cause electric
shock when the product is
subsequently used.
13. Do not overload wall outlets and
extension cords.
14. Unplug this product from the wall
outlet and refer servicing to an
authorized service facility under
the following conditions:
• When the power supply cord or
plug is damaged or frayed.
• If liquid has been spilled onto the
product.
• If the product has been exposed
to rain or water.
• If the product does not operate
normally by following the
operating instructions. Adjust only
those controls that are covered
by the operation instructions.
Improper adjustment of other
controls may result in damage and
often requires extensive work by
an authorized technician to restore
the product to normal operation.
• If the product has been dropped
and the telephone base and/or
handset has been damaged.
• If the product exhibits a distinct
change in performance.
15. Avoid using a telephone (other
than cordless) during an electrical
storm. There is a remote risk of
electric shock from lightning.
16. Do not use the telephone 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 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.
17. Only put the handset of your
telephone next to your ear when it
is in normal talk mode.
18. The 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
