9. Operate this telephone using the electrical voltage as stated on the base unit or in the owner’s manual. If you are not sure of the

voltage in your home, consult your dealer or local power company.

10. Do not place anything on the power cord. Install the telephone where no one will step or trip on the cord.

11. Do not overload wall outlets or extension cords as this can increase the risk of ﬁre or electrical shock.

12. Never push any objects through the slots in the telephone. They can touch dangerous voltage points or short out parts that could result in a risk of ﬁre or electrical shock. Never spill liquid of any kind on the telephone.

20. Plug the AC adaptor into the outlet that is nearest and most accessible to the telephone.

Exposure to high volume sound levels may damage your hearing. Although there is no single volume setting that is appro priate for everyone, you should always use the handset with the volume set at moderate levels and avoid prolonged exposure to high volume sound levels. The louder the volume, the less time is

required before your hearing could be affected. If you experience hearing discomfort, you should stop using the handset. To protect your hearing, some hearing experts suggest that you:

1. Set the volume control in a low position and then adjust the volume to a comfortable level.

2. Limit the amount of time you use the handset at high volume.

3. Avoid turning up the volume to block out noisy surroundings.

CHILDREN: Never allow children to play with the product – small parts may be a choking hazard and the ampliﬁed volume may cause hearing damage.

SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS FOR BATTERIES

Caution: Risk of explosion if battery

is replaced by an incorrect type. Dispose of used batteries according to the instructions.

1. Use only the approved battery pack in the handset of your cordless phone.

For Handset Unit:

3.6V 800mAh Ni-MH AAA GPI International Ltd.: GP80AAAH3BXZ

2. Do not dispose of the battery in a ﬁre as it may explode. Check with local codes for possible special disposal instructions.

3. Do not open or mutilate the battery. Released electrolyte is corrosive and may cause damage to the eyes and skin. It may be toxic if swallowed.
