CAUTION:
This telephone is NOT for residential use. It is for business systems
applications ONLY. Use in a residential environment could result in
an electrical short circuit when the telephone wiring is set up to
provide other applications, for example, for appliance control or
power transformers. The AC power used in these applications may
create a safety hazard by placing a direct short circuit across the
telephone wiring.
Use
When using your telephone equipment, the following safety precautions
should always be followed to reduce the risk of fire, electric shock, and injury to
persons.
•
Read and understand all instructions.
•
Follow all warnings and instructions marked on the telephone.
•
This telephone can be hazardous if immersed in water. To avoid the
possibility of electric shock, do not use it while you are wet. If you
accidentally drop the telephone into water, do not retrieve it until you have
first unplugged the line cord from the modular jack. Then, call service
personnel to ask about a replacement.
•
Avoid using the telephone during electrical storms in your immediate area.
There is a risk of electric shock from lightning. Urgent calls should be
brief. Even though protective measures may have been installed to limit
electrical surges from entering your business, absolute protection from
lightning is impossible.
•
If you suspect a natural gas leak, report it immediately, but use a
telephone away from the area in question. The telephone's electrical
contacts could generate a tiny spark. While unlikely, it is possible that this
spark could ignite heavy concentrations of gas.
