bowl, kitchen sink, or laundry tub, in a wet basement or near a swimming
pool.
5. Do not place this product on an unstable cart, stand or table. The product
may fall, causing serious damage to the product.
6. Slots and openings in the cabinet and the bottom or back are provided for
ventilation, to protect it from overheating; these openings must not be
blocked or covered. The openings should never be blocked by placing the
product in the bed, sofa, rug or other similar surface. This product should
never be placed near or over a radiator or heat register. This product
should not be placed in a built-in installation unless proper ventilation is
provided.
7. This product should be operated only from the type of power source indi-
cated on the marking label. If you are not sure of the type of power supply to your home, consult your dealer or local power company.
8. Do not allow anything to rest on the power cord. Do not locate this prod-
uct where the cord will be abused by persons walking on it.
9. Do not overload outlets and extension cords as this can result in the risk
of fire or electric shock.
10. Never push objects of any kind into this product through cabinet slots as
they may touch dangerous voltage points or short out parts that could

service personnel under the following conditions:
A. When the power supply cord or plug is damaged or frayed.
B. If liquid has been spilled into the product.
C. If the product has been exposed to rain or water.
D. If the product does not operate normally by following the operating in-
structions. Adjust only those controls that are covered by the operating

cian to restore the product to normal operation.

ment.

more cells.
C3. Do not expose batteries to heat or flame.

battery contacts with conducting materials such as rings, bracelets, and
keys. The battery or conductor may overheat and cause burns.

NOTE: Some cordless telephones operate at frequencies that may cause
interference to nearby TV's and VCR's. To minimize or prevent such interference, the base of the cordless telephone should not be placed near or on
top of TV's or VCR's. If interference is experienced, moving the cordless
telephone base further away from the TV or VCR will often reduce or eliminate the interference.
