Avoid using a telephone during a thunderstorm.
There might be a slight chance of electric
shock from lightning.

associated with the closing of any electrical circuit. In an inadequately ventilated environment,
the user should not plug the phone into a power outlet, nor put a charged handset into the
cradle where there are concentrations of flammable or flame-supporting gases. 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.
Do not use this product near water or when you are wet.
For example, do not use it in a wet
basement or shower, nor next to a swimming pool, bathtub, kitchen sink, and laundry tub. Do
not use liquids or aerosol sprays for cleaning. If the product comes in contact with any liquids,
unplug any line or power cord immediately. Do not plug the product back in until it has dried
thoroughly.
