designed for wet locations.

• Never touch bare telephone wires or terminals unless the telephone line

has been disconnected at the network interface.

• Use caution when installing or modifying telephone lines.

• Avoid using a telephone (other than a cordless type) during an electrical

storm. There may be a remote risk of electric shock from lightning.
