WARNING
When using your endpoint equipment, basic safety precautions should always be followed to reduce the risk of fire,
electric shock and injury to persons, including the following:
•
Do not use this product near water, for example, near a bath tub, wash bowl, kitchen sink or laundry tub, in a
wet basement, or near a swimming pool.
•
Avoid using an endpoint (other than a cordless type) during an electrical storm. There may be a remote risk of
electric shock from lightning.
•
Do not use the endpoint to report a gas leak in the vicinity of a leak.
•
Do not connect directly to the Public Switched Telephone Network (PSTN). Any connection of this endpoint to
an off premise application, an out of plant application, any other exposed plant application, or to any
equipment other than the intended application may result in a safety hazard, and/or defective operation, and/or
equipment damage. "Exposed plant" means where any portion of the circuit is subject to accidental contact
with electric lighting or power conductors operating at a voltage exceeding 300 volts between conductors or is
subject to lightning strikes.
