LCare should be taken that objects do not fall onto, and liquids are not spilled into, the product. Do not subject this product to excessive smoke, dust, mechanical vibration or shock.
Environment
L Do not use this product near water. L This product should be kept away
from heat sources such as radiators, cookers, etc. It should also not be placed in rooms where the temperature is less than 5 °C or greater than 40 °C.
Warning:
L To prevent the risk of electrical shock, do not expose this product to rain or any other type of moisture.
L Unplug this product from power outlets if it emits smoke, an abnormal smell, or makes unusual noise. These conditions can cause fire or electric
shock. Confirm that smoke has stopped emitting and contact an authorised service centre.

L Do not place or use this product near automatically controlled devices such as automatic doors and fire alarms.
Radio waves emitted from this product may cause such devices to malfunction resulting in an accident.
L Regularly remove any dust, etc. from the AC adaptor/power plug by pulling it from the power outlet, then wiping with a dry cloth. Accumulated dust may cause an insulation defect from moisture, etc. resulting in a fire.

Note:
L It is normal for batteries not to reach full capacity at the initial charge. Maximum battery performance is reached after a few complete cycles of charge/discharge (use).
L Actual battery performance depends on a combination of how often the handset is in use and how often it is not in use (standby).
L Even after the handset is fully charged, the handset can be left on the base unit or charger without any ill effect on the batteries.
L The battery level may not be displayed correctly after you replace the batteries. In this case, place the handset on the base unit or charger and let it charge for at least 7 hours.
