Safety Information

When using telephone equipment, including
the Ooma Office Base Station and Ooma Linx
devices, basic safety precautions should always
be followed to reduce the risk of fire, electric
shock, damage to equipment, loss of property,
severe injury to persons, or even loss of life.
These precautions include:
• Do not use the equipment and all related
accessories near or under water, for example,
near a bathtub, wash bowl, kitchen sink or
laundry tub, in a wet basement, near a swimming
pool, or in the rain. Do not plunge any parts in
water or any other liquid.
• Avoid using the equipment during an electrical
storm. There may be a remote risk of electric
shock from lightning.
• Use only the power adapter indicated in this
manual. If necessary order a new replacement
power adapter from Ooma or authorized retailers
using the original part number.
• Do not insert the power adapter into an extension
cord, receptacle, or outlet unless the prongs
can be fully inserted. Failure to do so may cause
electric shock or excessive heat resulting in a fire.

• Do not overload power outlets and extensions
cords. Otherwise, it can result in fire or serious
electrical shock.
• To prevent overheating, situate the equipment
away from heat sources such as radiators, heat
registers, stoves, or other fixtures, appliances,
and products that produce heat.
• Use caution when unplugging the equipment
from power outlets if it emits smoke, an abnormal
smell, or makes unusual noise. These conditions
may cause fire or electrical shock.
• Do not remove the cover or disassemble any
component of the equipment. The equipment
contains no user-serviceable parts.
• Unplug the equipment from the power outlet
before cleaning.
• Do not use liquid or if aerosol cleaners, use a
damp cloth or a microfiber cloth for cleaning.
• The equipment should never be placed near or
over a radiator or a heat register, or in any area
without proper ventilation.
• Do not allow anything to rest on the equipment,
its power cord, or the power adapter.
• Do not install the equipment where its power cord
may be walked or stumbled on.
• Unplug the equipment from the power outlet if
the power adapter cord or power adapter prongs
are damaged or frayed, if liquid has been spilled
onto the equipment, if the equipment has been
exposed to rain, water, or any other liquid, or if
the internal components of the equipment or its
power adapter are exposed.
• Do not use a telephone to report a gas leak in the
vicinity of the leak.
• The power supply adapter is intended to be
correctly oriented in a vertical or floor mount
position. The prongs are not designed to hold
the power adapter in place if it is plugged upside
down. For example, do not use facing down
power outlets on a ceiling, under a table, or in a
cabinet.
• The equipment and accessories must be
operated only for its intended use and not for any
other purposes.
