IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
When using your telephone equipment, basic safety precautions should always be followed to
reduce the risk of fire, electric shock and personal injury, including the following:
1. Read and follow all instructions and warnings.
2. Unplug this product from the wall outlet before cleaning. Do not use liquid cleaners or
aerosol cleaners. Use a slightly dampened cloth only.
3. Do not use this product near water, for example, near a bathtub, wash bowl, kitchen sink,
or laundry tub, in a wet basement, or near a swimming pool.
4. Do not place this product on an unstable cart, stand or table. The product may fall, causing
serious damage to itself.
5. Slots and openings in the cabinet and the back or bottom 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 on the bed, sofa, rug, or other similar
surface. This product should never be placed near or over a radiator, heat register or a
built-in installation such as a bookcase or cabinet unless proper ventilation is provided.
6. 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 result in a risk of fire or electric
shock. Never spill liquid of any kind on the product.
7. To reduce the risk of electric shock, do not disassemble this product, but take it to a
qualified serviceman, when some service or repair work is required. Opening or removing
covers may expose you to dangerous voltages or other risks. Incorrect re-assembly can
cause electric shock when the appliance is subsequently used.
8. Unplug this product from the wall outlet and refer servicing to qualified service personnel
under the following conditions:
A. When the 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 instructions. Adjust
only those controls that are covered by the operating instructions because improper
adjustment of other controls may result in damage and will often require extensive work
by a qualified technician to restore the product to normal operation.
E. If the product has been dropped or the cabinet has been damaged.
F. If the product exhibits a distinct change in performance.
9. Avoid using a telephone (other than a cordless type) during an electrical storm. There may
be a remote risk of electric shock from lightning.
10 . Do not use the telephone to report a gas leak in the vicinity of the leak.
11. Do not allow anything to rest on the telephone cord. Do not locate this product where the
cord will be abused by persons walking on it.
12 . Never install telephone wiring during a lightning storm.
13 . Never install telephone jacks in wet locations unless the jack is specially designed for wet
locations.
14 . Never touch uninsulated telephone wires or terminals, unless the telephone line has been
disconnected at the network interface.
15 . Be careful when installing or modifying telephone lines.
