█ IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

When using your telephone equipment, basic safety precautions
should always be followed to reduce the risk of fire, electric
shock and injury to person, including the following:
WARNING: The CR200 Ring Signaler is capable of amplifying
sounds to a loud volume. It is important to instruct all potential
users of its proper operation.
WARNING: Use only the power supply indicated in the User’s
Manual.
WARNING: To avoid the possibility of electrical shock, do not
use this product near water (For example, near a bathtub,
wash basin, kitchen sink or laundry tub, in a wet basement or
near a swimming pool) while in the bathtub or shower or when
you are wet. If the phone becomes submerged in water, do not

attempt to retrieve it until after you have unplugged the line
cord from the modular wall jack. Do not plug the phone back in
until it has dried completely.
WARNING: Avoid using the telephone during electrical storms.
There may be a remote risk of electric shock from lightning.
If the electrical storm is present in your immediate area,
possibility of electrical shock exists.
WARNING: Do not use the phone if you suspect a gas leak in
the area. The phone’s electrical contact could create a spark,
which could ignite any heavy concentration of leaking gas.
WARNING: When cleaning, unplug the ring signaler, and then
use a damp cloth to wipe. Do not use liquid cleaners or aerosol
cleaners.
WARNING: No telephone should ever be placed near an open
radiator or heating register.
WARNING: Occasionally a power surge can occur on electrical
lines without warning. With any electrical device that you plug
into an outlet, it is suggested you use a surge protector. A
surge protector will prevent power surges from damaging your
phone. Surge protectors are simple devices available at your
local hardware store.
WARNING: Do not overload wall outlets or extension cords as
this can increase the risk of fire or electrical shock.
WARNING: Never push any object through the slots in the
telephone. They can touch dangerous voltage points or short
out parts that could results in risk of fire or electrical shock.
WARNING: Do not cover slots and opening on the units, they
are needed for ventilation and protection against overheating.
WARNING: Ring volume is very loud and can damage your
hearing. Never put your ear close to the ringer.
