WARNING!
The TeleTalker is capable of amplifying sounds to a very loud volume. To
prevent misuse of the phone by someone who is unfamiliar with its operation and capabilities,DO NOT remove the warning labels. Instruct all
potential users in its proper operation. Do not let children play with the
TeleTalker. When the AMPLIFY function is not activated,the TeleTalker
functions as a normal telephone.
WARNING!
This telephone can produce very high (loud) sound levels. Always adjust
controls to minimum settings before using the phone and alert other
users that hearing damage can potentially result from misuse.
WARNING!
This product can be hazardous if immersed in water. To avoid the possibility of electrical shock,do not use it while in the bathtub or shower,or
when you are wet. If you accidentally drop it into water,do not retrieve
it until you have first unplugged the line cord from the modular wall jack
and the power pack from the AC wall outlet. Do not plug the telephone
back in until it has dried thoroughly.
Avoid using the telephone during electrical storms in your immediate
area. Urgent calls should be brief. Even though your telephone company
may be using protective measures to limit electrical surges from entering
your home,absolute protection from lighting is impossible.
If you suspect a gas leak,report it immediately. But use a telephone away
from the affected area. The telephone’s electrical contacts could create a
tiny spark. While unlikely,it is possible this spark could ignite heavy concentrations of gas.
