Before using your telephone equipment, basic safety instructions should always be fol-
lowed 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 AC line power 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, dangerous electrical current or other risks. Incorrect
reassembly can cause electric shock when the appliance is subsequently used.
12. Unplug the product from the wall outlet and refer servicing to qualified service per-
sonnel under the following 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.
d.) If the product does not operate normally by following 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 performance.
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.
16. Minimum No. 26 AWG telecommunication line cord must be used with this phone.
