1. This product should be installed by a qualiﬁed technician.

2. This product should only be connected to the host equipment and never directly to the network such as Public Switch Telephone Network (PSTN) or Plain Old Telephone Services (POTS).

5. Unplug this product from the wall outlet before cleaning. Do not use liquid or aerosol cleaners. Use a damp cloth for cleaning.

6. Do not use this product near water such as near a bath tub, wash bowl, kitchen sink, laundry tub or swimming pool, or in a wet basement or shower.

7. Do not place this product on an unstable table, shelf, stand or other unstable surfaces.

8. 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. 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 on the premises, consult your dealer or local power company.

10. Do not allow anything to rest on the

power cord. Do not install this product where the cord may be walked on.

11. 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.

12. 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 speciﬁed access doors may expose you to dangerous voltages or other risks. Incorrect reassembling can cause electric shock when the product is subsequently used.

13. Do not overload wall outlets and extension cords.

14. 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 has been dropped and the

CAUTIONS

telephone base and/or handset has been damaged.

• If the product exhibits a distinct change in performance.

15. Avoid using a telephone (other than cordless) during an electrical storm. There is a remote risk of electric shock from lightning.

20. In wall mounting position, make sure to mount the telephone base on the wall by aligning the eyelets with the mounting studs of the wall plate. Then slide the telephone base down on both mounting studs until it locks into place. Refer to the full instructions in Installation in the user’s manual.

English

16. 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 ﬂammable or ﬂame-supporting gases, unless there is adequate ventilation. A spark in such an environment could create a ﬁre or explosion. Such environments might include: medical use of oxygen without adequate ventilation; industrial gases (cleaning solvents; gasoline vapors; etc.); a leak of natural gas; etc.

• Keep small metallic objects such as pins and staples away from the handset receiver.

• There may be a risk of explosion if a wrong type of handset battery is used (CTM-A2415, CTM-A2415HC). Use only the supplied rechargeable battery (BT164392/BT264392) or replacement battery (BT264392). Dispose of used batteries according to the information in The RBRC® seal in this user guide.

SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS

17. Only put the handset of your telephone next to your ear when it is in normal talk mode.

18. The power adapters are intended to be correctly oriented in a vertical or ﬂoor mount position. The prongs are not designed to hold the plug in place if it is plugged into a ceiling, under-the-table or cabinet outlet.

19. Use only the power cord and batteries indicated in this manual. Do not dispose of batteries in a ﬁre. They may explode. Check with local codes for possible special disposal instructions.
