Important Safety Instructions

When using your telephone equipment, basic safety precautions should always

be followed to reduce the risk of fire, electric shock and injury to persons, 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 cleaners or aerosol cleaners. Use a damp cloth for cleaning.

4.Do not use this product near water (for example, near a bath tub, kitchen sink, or swimming pool).

5.Do not place this product on an unstable cart, stand, or table. The product may fall, causing serious damage to the product.

6.Slots and openings in the cabinet and the back or bottom are provided for ventilation. To protect it from overheating, these openings must not be blocked by placing the product on the bed, sofa, rug, or other similar surface. This product should never be placed near or over a radiator or heat register. This product should not be placed in a built-in installation where proper ventilation is not provided.

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 locate this product where the cord will be abused by persons walking on it.

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. Opening or removing cabinet parts other than specified access doors may expose you to dangerous voltages or other risks. Incorrect reassembling can cause electric shock when the appliance is subsequently used.

11.Do not overload wall outlets and extension cords as this can result in the risk of fire or electric shock.

12.Unplug this product from the wall outlet and refer servicing to an authorized service facility under the following conditions:

A.When the power supply cord or plug is damaged or frayed.

B.If liquid has been spilled into the product.

C.If the product has been exposed to rain or water.

D.If the product does not operate normally by following the operating instructions. Adjust only those controls that are covered by the operating instructions, because improper adjustment of other controls may result in damage and will often require extensive work to restore the product to normal operation.

E.If the product has been dropped and the cabinet has been damaged.

F.If the product exhibits a distinct change in performance.

13.Avoid using a telephone (other than a cordless type) during an electrical storm.

There may be a remote risk of electric shock from lighting.

About Caller Identification (Caller ID)

This product has a Caller ID with Call Waiting feature that works with service from your local phone service provider.

Caller ID with Call Waiting lets you see who’s calling before you answer the phone, even when you’re on another call.

You may need to change your phone service to use this feature. Contact your phone service provider if:

•You have both Caller ID and Call Waiting, but as separate services (you may need combined service)

•You have only Caller ID service, or only Call Waiting service

•You don’t subscribe to any Caller ID or Call Waiting services.

You can use this product with regular Caller ID service, and you can use this product’s other features without subscribing to either Caller ID or combined Caller ID with Call Waiting service.

There are fees for Caller ID services, and they may not be available in all areas.

This product can provide information only if both you and the caller are in areas offering Caller ID service, and if both telephone companies use compatible equipment.

TELEPHONE OPERATION

Message Waiting Indicator

If you subscribe to telephone company voice mail with a visual message waiting signal, this light will flash when you have new voice mail. In addition, the Handset displays: MESSAGE WAITING.

NOTE: The visual MESSAGE WAITING feature requires a signal from your local telephone company called FSK (Frequency Shift Keying). Not all local phone companies can provide this signal. The audible stutter dial tone alone will not activate the Message Waiting feature on this telephone. Please check with your local service provider if the FSK signal is available in your area.
