LUse only the power source marked on the product.

LDo not overload power outlets and extension cords. This can result in the risk of fire or electric shock.

LCompletely insert the AC adaptor/power plug into the power outlet. Failure to do so may cause electric shock and/or excessive heat resulting in a fire.

LRegularly 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.

LUnplug the product from power outlets if it emits smoke, an abnormal smell, or makes an unusual noise. These conditions can cause fire or electric shock. Confirm that smoke has stopped emitting and contact an authorised service centre.

LUnplug from power outlets and never touch the inside of the product if its casing has been broken open.

LNever touch the plug with wet hands. Danger of electric shock exists.

Installation

LTo prevent the risk of fire or electrical shock, do not expose the product to rain or any type of moisture.

LDo 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.

LDo not allow the AC adaptor or telephone line cord to be excessively pulled, bent or placed under heavy objects.

LIt is advised not to use the equipment at a refuelling point. Users are reminded to observe restrictions on the use of radio

equipment in fuel depots, chemical plants or where blasting operations are in progress.

Operating safeguards

LUnplug the product from power outlets before cleaning. Do not use liquid or aerosol cleaners.

L Do not disassemble the product.

LDo not spill liquids (detergents, cleansers, etc.) onto the telephone line cord plug, or allow it to become wet at all. This may cause a fire. If the telephone line cord plug becomes wet, immediately pull it from the telephone wall socket, and do not use.

Medical

LConsult the manufacturer of any personal medical devices, such as pacemakers or hearing aids, to determine if they are adequately shielded from external RF (radio frequency) energy. (The product operates in the frequency range of 1.88 GHz to 1.90 GHz, and the RF transmission power is 250 mW (max.).)
