Important safety information
This symbol is to alert you to important operating or servicing instructions
that may appear in this user’s manual. Always follow basic safety precautions
when using this product to reduce the risk of injury, re, or electric shock.
Safety information
f Read and understand all instructions in the user’s manual. Observe all markings on
the product.
f Avoid using a telephone during a thunderstorm. There may be a slight chance of
electric shock from lightning.
f Do not use a telephone in the vicinity of a gas leak. Under certain circumstances,
a spark may be created when the adapter is plugged into the power outlet, or
when the handset is replaced in its cradle. This is a common event associated with
the closing of any electrical circuit. In an inadequately ventilated environment,
the user should not plug the phone into a power outlet, nor put a charged
handset into the cradle where there are concentrations of ammable or ame-
supporting gases. A spark in such an environment could create a re 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.
f Do not use this product near water or when you are wet. For example, do not use
it in a wet basement or shower, nor next to a swimming pool, bathtub, kitchen sink
and laundry tub. Do not use liquids or aerosol sprays for cleaning. If the product
comes in contact with any liquid, unplug any line or power cord immediately. Do not
plug the product back in until it has dried thoroughly.
f Install this product in a protected location where no one can trip over any line or
power cords. Protect cords from damage or abrasion.
f If this product does not operate normally, see the Troubleshooting section of the
online Complete user’s manual. If you cannot solve the problem, or if the product
is damaged, refer to the Limited warranty section (pages 33 - 35). Do not
open this product except as directed in your user’s manual. Opening the product or
reassembling it incorrectly may expose you to hazardous voltages or other risks.
f Replace batteries, only as described in your user’s manual (Page 5). Do not burn
or puncture batteries — they contain caustic chemicals.
f This power adapter is intended to be correctly oriented in a vertical or oor mount
position. The prongs are not designed to hold the plug in place if it is plugged into a
ceiling or an under-the-table/cabinet outlet.
f For pluggable equipment, the socket-outlet shall be installed near the equipment
and shall be easily accessible.
