Avoid using a telephone connection (other than a cordless type) during an electrical storm. There may be a remote risk of electric shock from lightning.
Do not use a telephone connection to report a gas leak in the vicinity of the leak.
Use only the power cord and batteries indicated in this manual. Do not dispose of batteries in a fire. They may explode. Check with local codes for possible special disposal instructions.
Disconnect the modem cable before opening the computer case or touching an uninsulated modem cable, jack, or internal component.
