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 extension cords as this
can result in 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.

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.

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 high­temperature 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.
