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

5.
Slots and openings in the back or bottom of the telephone base and handset are provided

6.
for ventilation. To protect them from overheating, these openings must not be blocked by

To reduce the risk of electric shock, do not disassemble this product, but take it to an

10.
authorized service facility. Opening or removing parts of the telephone base or handset

other than specied access doors may expose you to dangerous voltages or other risks.

Incorrect reassembling can cause electric shock when the product is subsequently used.
