3. Unplug this product from the wall outlet before cleaning. Do not use liquid cleaners or aerosol cleaners. Use a damp cloth for cleaning.

4. Telephones should not be used while you are in a bathtub, shower or pool. Immersion of the telephone or handset in water could cause an electrical shock.

5. Slots and openings in the cabinet back or bottom are provided for ventilation, to protect it from overheating. These openings must not be blocked or covered. The openings should never be blocked by placing the product on the bed, sofa, rug, or other similar surface. This product should not be placed in a built-in installation unless proper ventilation is provided.

6. This product should be operated only from the type of power source indicated on the marking label. If you are not sure of the type of power supply to your home, consult your dealer or local power company.

7. Do not allow anything to rest on the power cord. Do not locate this product where the cord will be abused by persons walking on it.

8. Do not overload wall outlets and

4 Important Safety Instructions

the risk of fire or electric shock.

9. Never push objects of any kind into this product through cabinet slots as they may touch dangerous voltage points or short out parts that could result in a risk of fire or electric shock. Never spill liquid of any kind on the product.

10. To reduce the risk of electric shock, do not disassemble this product, but take it to a qualified service personnel when service or repair work is required. Opening or removing covers may expose you to dangerous voltages or other risks. Incorrect reassembly can cause electric shock when the appliance is subsequently used.

11. Do not expose the product to extreme temperatures such as areas near a hot radiator or stove or in a hot car.

12. Do not place lighted candles, cigarettes, cigars, etc., on the telephone.

13. Never touch uninsulated telephone wires or terminals unless the telephone line has been disconnected at the network interface.

14. Never install or modify telephone wiring during a lightning storm.

15. Never install telephone jacks in wet locations unless the jack is specifically designed for wet locations.

16. Use caution when installing or modifying telephone lines to prevent electrical shock and/or fire.

17. Unplug this product from the wall outlet and refer servicing to qualified service personnel under the following conditions: A. When the power supply cord or

plug is damaged or frayed.

B. If the product has been exposed

to rain or water.

C. If the product does not operate

normally by following the operating instructions.

D. If the product’s cabinet has been

damaged.

E. If the product exhibits a distinct

change in performance.

18. Avoid using a telephone (other than a cordless type) during an electrical storm. There may be a remote risk of electric shock from lightning.

19. Do not use the telephone to report a gas leak in the vicinity of the leak.

20. Do not place this product on an unstable cart, stand or table. The product may fall, causing serious damage to the product.

IF YOUR PRODUCT UTILIZES BATTERIES, THE FOLLOWING ADDITIONAL PRECAUTIONS SHOULD BE OBSERVED:

1. Use only the type and size of battery(ies) specified in the user manual.

2. Do not dispose of the battery(ies) in fire. They may explode. Check with local codes for possible special disposal instructions.

3. Do not open or mutilate the battery(ies). Released electrolyte is corrosive and may cause damage to the eyes or skin. It may be toxic if swallowed.

4. Exercise care in handling battery(ies) in order not to short out the battery(ies) with conducting materials such as rings, bracelets, and keys. The battery(ies) or conductor may overheat and cause burns.

5. Do not attempt to recharge the battery(ies) provided with or identified for use with this product that are not intended to be charged. The battery(ies) may leak corrosive electrolyte or explode.

Important Safety Instructions 5

6. Do not attempt to rejuvenate the battery(ies) provided with or identified for use with this product by heating them. Sudden release of the battery(ies) electrolyte may occur causing burns or irritation to eyes or skin.

7. When replacing battery(ies), all batteries should be replaced at the same time. Mixing fresh and discharged batteries could increase internal cell pressure and rupture the discharged battery(ies). (Applies to products employing more than one separately replaceable primary battery.)

8. When inserting battery(ies) into this product, the proper polarity or direction must be observed. Reverse insertion of battery(ies) can cause charging, and that may result in leakage or explosion.

9. Remove battery(ies) from this product if storing over 30 days because the battery(ies) could leak and damage the product.

10. Discard “dead” battery(ies) as soon as possible since “dead“ batteries are more likely to leak in a product.

11. Do not store this product, or the battery(ies) provided with or identified for use with this product, in high-temperature areas. Batteries that are stored in a freezer or refrigerator for the purpose of extending shelf life should be protected from condensation during storage and defrosting. Batteries should be stabilized at room temperature prior to use after cold storage.

12. If your product uses rechargeable battery(ies), charge the battery(ies) only in accordance with the instructions and limitation specified in the User Manual.
