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

4. Do not use this product near water, for example, near a bathtub, washbowl, kitchen
sink, or laundry tub, in a wet basement, or near a swimming pool.

5. Do not place this product on an unstable cart, stand or table. The product may fall,

7. 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.

8. Do not allow anything to rest on the power cord. Do not place this product where
the cord will be abused by persons stepping on it.

9. Do not overload wall outlets and extension cords as this can result in fire or electric
shock.

10. 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 fire or electric
shock. Never spill liquid of any kind on the product.

11. To reduce the risk of electric shock, do not disassemble this product, but take it to
a qualified serviceman when some 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.

Safety Instructions for Batteries

CAUTION

TO REDUCE THE RISK OF FIRE OR INJURY TO PERSONS, READ AND
FOLLOW THESE INSTRUCTIONS.

1. Use only the size and type of batteries mentioned in the Owner's Manual.

2. Do not dispose of the batteries in a fire. The cells may explode. Check with local
codes for possible special disposal instructions.

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

4. Exercise care in handling batteries in order not to short the batteries with
conducting materials such as rings, bracelets, and keys. The batteries or conductors
may overheat and cause burns.

5. Do not attempt to recharge the batteries identified for use with this product.
The batteries may leak corrosive electrolyte or explode.

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

7. When replacing batteries, all batteries should be replaced at the same time.
Mixing fresh and discharged batteries could increase internal cell pressure and rupture
the discharged batteries.

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

9. Remove the batteries form this product if the product will not be used for a long
period of time (several months or more) since during this time the batteries could
leak in the product.

10. Discard "dead" batteries as soon as possible since "dead" batteries are more
likely to leak in a product.

11. Do not store this product, or the batteries 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. After cold storage, batteries should be stabilized at room temperature
prior to use.
