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

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.
