cause fire or electric shock. Confirm that
smoke has stopped emitting and contact an
authorised service centre.
L Unplug from power outlets and never touch
the inside of the product if its casing has

transmitters, such as external antennas
of mobile phone cell stations. (Avoid
putting the base unit on a bay window or
near a window.)
L Coverage and voice quality depends on the
local environmental conditions.
L If the recep tion for a base unit location is not
satisfactory, move the base unit to another
location for better reception.
