WARNING

Power connection

R Use only the power source marked on the

product.

R Do not overload power outlets and

extension cords. This can result in the risk of fire or electric shock.

R Completely 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.

R 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.

R Unplug 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.

R Unplug from power outlets and never touch

the inside of the product if its casing has been broken open.

R Never touch the plug with wet hands.

Danger of electric shock exists.

Installation

R To prevent the risk of fire or electrical

shock, do not expose the product to rain or any type of moisture.

R 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.

R Do not allow the AC adaptor or telephone

line cord to be excessively pulled, bent or placed under heavy objects.

Operating safeguards

R Unplug the product from power outlets

before cleaning. Do not use liquid or aerosol cleaners.

R The use of excessive sound volume

through earphones, headphones, or headsets may cause hearing loss.

R Do not place a handset on the base unit

with the headset jack cover opened.

Medical

R Consult 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.).)

R Do not use the product in health care

facilities if any regulations posted in the area instruct you not to do so. Hospitals or health care facilities may be using equipment that could be sensitive to external RF energy.
