Avoid using a telephone during a thunderstorm. There might be a slight chance of electric
shock from lightning.
Do not use a telephone in the vicinity of a gas leak. If you suspect a gas leak, report it
immediately, but use a telephone away from the area where gas is leaking. If this product is a
cordless model, make sure the base is also away from the area.
Do not use this product near water, or when you are wet. For example, do not use it in a
wet basement or shower, or next to a swimming pool, bathtub, kitchen sink, or laundry tub.
Do not use liquids or aerosol sprays for cleaning. If the product comes in contact with any
liquids, unplug any line or power cord immediately. Do not plug the product back in until it
has dried thoroughly.
Install this product in a protected location where no one can trip over any line or power
cords. Protect cords from damage or abrasion.

Especially about corded telephones
Privacy: The same features that make a cordless telephone convenient create some
limitations. Telephone calls are transmitted between the telephone base and the handset
by radio waves, so there is a possibility that your cordless telephone conversations could
be intercepted by radio receiving equipment within range of the cordless handset. For this
reason, you should not think of cordless telephone conversations as being as private as those
on corded telephones.
Electrical power: The telephone base of this cordless telephone must be connected to a
working electrical outlet which is not controlled by a wall switch. Calls cannot be made from
the handset if the telephone base is unplugged, switched off or if the electrical power is
interrupted.
