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 pendant 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 pendant into its 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.
.
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 into a ceiling, under-the-table or cabinet outlet.
