SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS

When using your telephone equipment, basic safety precautions should
always be followed to reduce the risk of fire, electric shock and injury to
persons, including the following:

1. Read and understand all instructions.

2. Follow all warnings and instructions marked on the telephone.

3. Avoid contact with liquids. Do not locate base unit or handset near
water, for example, near a bathtub, wash basin, sink or laundry tub, in a
wet basement or near a swimming pool.

4. Avoid using a telephone (other than a cordless type) during a storm.
There may be a remote risk of electrical shock from lightning.

5. Do not use the telephone to report a gas leak in the vicinity of the leak.

6. Unplug this telephone from the wall outlets before cleaning. Do not use
liquid cleaners or aerosol cleaners on the telephone. Use a damp cloth
for cleaning.

7. Place this telephone on a stable surface. Serious damage and/or injury
may result if the telephone falls.

8. Do not cover the slots and openings on this telephone. This telephone
should never be placed near or over a radiator or heat register. This
telephone should not be placed in a built-in installation unless proper
ventilation is provided.

9. Operate this telephone using the electrical voltage as stated on the base
unit or 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 allow anything to rest on the power cord or locate this product
in an area where the power cord is likely to be damaged by furniture or
foot trac.

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.

13. To reduce the risk of electrical shock, do not take this phone apart.
Opening or removing covers may expose you to dangerous voltages
or other risks. Incorrect reassembly can cause electric shock when the
appliance is subsequently used.

14. Unplug this product from the wall outlet and refer servicing to the
manufacturer under the following conditions: when the power supply
cord or plug is frayed or damaged; if liquid has been spilled into the

product; if the telephone has been exposed to rain or water; if the
telephone has been dropped or the case has been damaged; if the
telephone exhibits a distinct change in performance; if the telephone
does not operate normally by following the operating instructions.
Adjust only those controls that are covered by the operating
instructions. Improper adjustment may require extensive work by a
qualified technician to restore the telephone to normal operation if
the telephone does not operate normally by following the operating
instructions.

15. This product should be operated only from the type of power source
indicated on the marking label. If you are not sure of the type of power
supply to your home, consult your local power company.

16. 16. Do not attempt to open the AC adapter. There are potentially
dangerous voltages inside, and there are no serviceable parts.

17. Discontinue use of product and contact Clarity if the product overheats,
has a damaged cord or plug, if the product has been dropped or
damaged or if the product has come into contact with liquids.

18. Use only the AC adapter provided with this product or a replacement AC
adapter provided by Clarity.

19. This phone amplifies sound to loud volumes. To prevent hearing
damage, all users of the phone should be informed of the high volume
capability of the phone and children should only use the phone when
supervised by an adult.

20. Exposure to high volume sound levels or excessive sound pressure may
cause temporary or permanent damage to your hearing. Although there
is no single volume setting that is appropriate for everyone, you should
always use your telephone 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 aected.
If you experience hearing discomfort, you should have your hearing
checked by a doctor. To protect your hearing, you should:

A) Set the volume control in a low position and gradually increase

the volume as needed. Before pressing the BOOST button, reduce
the volume to the lowest level. Use the phone on the lowest volume
setting as possible.

B) Limit the amount of time you use the telephone at high volume

levels.

21. If you experience a skin irritation after using this product, discontinue
use and contact Clarity.
