Safety information
•
Read and understand all instructions in the user's manual. Observe all markings on
the product.
•
Avoid using a telephone during a thunderstorm. There may be a slight chance of electric shock
from lightning.
•
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.
