To prevent severe injury and loss of life/ property, read this section carefully before using the product to ensure proper and safe operation of your product.

WARNING

Power connection

RUse only the power source marked on the product.

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

RCompletely 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.

RRegularly 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.

RUnplug 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.

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

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

Installation

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

RDo 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.

RThe use of excessive sound volume through earphones, headphones, or headsets may cause hearing loss.

RDo not place a handset on the base unit with the headset jack cover opened.

Medical
