Safety information

Read and understand all instructions in the user’s manual. Observe all markings on the product.
f
Avoid using a telephone during a thunderstorm. There might be a slight chance of electric shock
from lightning.
f
Do not use a telephone in the vicinity of a gas 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. 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.
