SURGE PROTECTION
Your telephone has built-in protection circuits to reduce the risk of damage
from
surges in telephone line and power line current. However, lightning
striking the telephone or power lines can damage your telephone.
Lightning
damage is not common. Nevertheless, if you live in an area that
has
severe electrical storms, we suggest that you unplug your phone
when
storms approach to reduce the possibility of damage.
SET-UP
Your answering system connects directly to a modular telephone line jack.
If
your telephone wiring does not have a modular jack, you can update
the
wir ing yourself using jacks and adapters, or have the telephone
company
update the wiring for you.
Note:
The CSA number of the jack to be installed is CA11C (or CA11W
for a wall plate jack).
If
your home has specially wired alarm equipment connected to the
telephone
line, be sure that installing the telephone does not disable your
ala
rm equipment. If you have questions about what will disable your alarm
equipment,
contact your telephone company or a qualified installer.
CARE/SERVICE AND REPAIR
Keep your answering system dry; if it gets wet, wipe it dry immediately.
Use and store your answering system in room temperature environments
onl
y. Handle your answering system carefully; do not drop it. Keep your
an
swering system away from dust and dirt, and wipe it with a damp cloth
occasionally
to keep it looking new.
Modifying
or tampering with the product’s internal components can cause
a malfunction and might invalidate its warranty.
