IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
When using your telephone equipment, basic safety
precautions should always be followed to reduce the
risk of re, electric shock and injury, including the
following:
1. Read and understand all instructions.
2. Follow all warnings and instructions marked on the
product.
3. Unplug this product from the wall outlet before
cleaning. Do not use liquid or aerosol cleaners. Use a
damp cloth for cleaning.
4. Do not use this product near water such as near a
bath tub, wash bowl, kitchen sink, laundry tub or a
swimming pool, or in a wet basement or shower.
5. Do not place this product on an unstable table, shelf,
stand or other unstable surfaces.
6. Avoid placing the telephone system in places
with extreme temperature, direct sunlight, or
other electrical devices. Protect your phone from
moisture, dust, corrosive liquids and fumes.
7. Slots and openings in the back or bottom of the
telephone base and handset are provided for
ventilation. To protect them from overheating,
these openings must not be blocked by placing the
product on a soft surface such as a bed, sofa or rug.
This product should never be placed near or over a
radiator or heat register. This product should not be
placed in any area where proper ventilation is not
provided.
9
8. 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 in your
home or ofce, consult your dealer or local power
company.
9. Do not allow anything to rest on the power cord.
Do not install this product where the cord may be
walked on.
10. Never push objects of any kind into this product
through the slots in the telephone base or handset
because they may touch dangerous voltage points
or create a short circuit. 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 an
authorized service facility. Opening or removing
parts of the telephone base or handset other
than specied access doors may expose you
to dangerous voltages or other risks. Incorrect
reassembling can cause electric shock when the
product is subsequently used.
12. Do not overload wall outlets and extension cords.
13. Unplug this product from the wall outlet and refer
servicing to an authorized service facility under the
following conditions:
• When the power supply cord or plug is damaged
or frayed.
• If liquid has been spilled onto the product.
• If the product has been exposed to rain or water.
• If the product does not operate normally by
following the operating instructions. Adjust only
those controls that are covered by the operation

instructions. Improper adjustment of other
controls may result in damage and often requires
extensive work by an authorized technician to
restore the product to normal operation.
• If the product has been dropped and the telephone
base and/or handset has been damaged.

15. Do not use the telephone to report a gas leak in the
vicinity of the leak. Under certain circumstances,
a spark may be created when the adapter is
plugged into the power outlet, or when the handset
is replaced in its cradle. This is a common event
associated with the closing of any electrical circuit.
The user should not plug the phone into a power
outlet, and should not put a charged handset into
the cradle, if the phone is located in an environment
containing concentrations of ammable or ame-
supporting gases, unless there is adequate
ventilation. A spark in such an environment could
create a re or explosion. Such environments might
include: medical use of oxygen without adequate
ventilation; industrial gases (cleaning solvents;
gasoline vapours; etc.); a leak of natural gas; etc.
16. Only put the handset of your telephone next to your
ear when it is in normal talk mode.

staples. To avoid injury, do not place the handset
where such objects can be picked up.
