IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
Always follow basic safety precautions when using your telephone equipment to reduce the risk
of fire, electrical shock, and injury.
1. Read and understand all instructions in the Owner’s Instruction Manual.
2. Read all warnings and follow all instructions marked on the product.
3. Unplug this product from the wall outlet before cleaning. Use a damp cloth for cleaning. Do not use liquid or aerosol
cleaners.
4. Do not use the telephone near water. For example, do not use near a bathtub, wash bowl, kitchen sink, laundry tub,
swimming pool, or in a wet basement.
5. Do not place this product on an unstable cart or stand. The product may fall causing serious damage to the product.
6. Use only the type power source indicated on the label. If you are not sure of the type power supply to your home,
consult your dealer or local power company.
7. Do not place any objects on the telephone line cord. Do not locate the telephone where the line cord will be walked
on.
8. Do not block or cover ventilation slots and openings in the bottom of the telephone. The openings should never
be blocked by placing the telephone on a bed, sofa, rug, or other similar surfaces. This telephone should never be placed
near or over a radiator or heat register. This telephone should never be placed in a built-in installation unless proper
ventilation is provided.
9. Never spill liquid on the telephone or push objects of any kind through ventilation slots. Liquid or objects may
touch dangerous voltage points or short out parts that could result in a risk of fire or electrical shock.
10. Do not disassemble this product. Opening or removing covers may expose you to dangerous voltages or other risks.
Incorrect reassembly can cause electrical shock when the product is subsequently used.
11. Do not overload outlets and extension cords. Some telephones require AC power from an outlet, overloading the
outlets can result in the risk of fire or electric shock.
12. Avoid using a telephone during a local thunderstorm. There may be a remote risk of electrical shock from lightning.
13. Do not use a telephone in the vicinity of a gas leak to report the leak, or otherwise.
14. Unplug the telephone from the wall outlet and refer servicing to qualified service personnel under the following
conditions:
• When the line cord is frayed or plugs damaged.
• If liquid has been spilled into the telephone.
• If the telephone has been exposed to rain or water.
• If the telephone does not operate properly by following the operating instructions. (Adjust only those controls
covered by the operating instructions. Improper adjustment of other controls may result in damage and will often
require extensive work by a qualified technician to restore the product to normal operation.)
• If the telephone has been dropped or the housing damaged.
• If the telephone exhibits a distinct change in performance.
The following additional precautions should be observed for battery usage
1. Use only the type and size of batteries specified in the users manual.
2. Do not dispose of the batteries in a fire. The cells may explode. Check with local codes for possible special disposal
instructions.
3. Do not open or mutilate the batteries. Released electrolyte is corrosive and may cause damage to the eyes or skin.
It may be toxic if swallowed.
4. Exercise care in handling batteries in order not to short the battery with conducting materials such as rings, bracelets
and keys. The battery or conductor may overheat and cause burns.
5. Do not attempt to recharge the batteries that are with or identified for use with this product. The batteries may
leak corrosive electrolyte or explode.
6. Do not attempt to rejuvenate the batteries provided with or identified for use with this product by heating them.
Sudden release of the battery electrolyte may occur causing burns or irritation to eyes or skin.
7. When replacing batteries, all batteries should be replaced at the same time. Mixing fresh and discharged batteries
could increase internal cell pressure and rupture the discharged batteries.
8. When inserting the batteries into this product, the proper polarity or direction must be observed. Reverse
insertion of batteries can cause charging, which may result in leakage or explosion.
9. Remove the batteries from this product if the product will not be used for an extended period of time (several
moths or more) since during this time, the batteries could leak, damaging the product.
10. Discard dead batteries as soon as possible since they are more likely to leak in a product.
11. Do not store this product, or the batteries provided with or identified for use with this product, in high
temperature areas.
