Surge Protection
Your telephone has built-in protection circuits to reduce the risk
of damage from surges in telephone line and power line current.
These protection circuits meet or exceed the FCC requirements.
However, lightning striking the telephone or power lines can
damage your telephone.
Lightning damage is not common. Nevertheless, if you live
in an area that has severe electrical storms, we suggest that
you unplug your phone when storms approach to reduce the
possibility of damage.
Important Safety Instructions
When using your telephone equipment, basic safety precautions
should always be followed to reduce the risk of fire, electric
shock and injury to persons, including the following:
Do not use this product near water, for example, near a
bathtub, wash bowl, kitchen sink, or laundry tub, in a wet
basement or near a swimming pool.
Avoid using a telephone (other than a cordless type) during
an electrical storm. There may be a remote risk of electric
shock from lightning.
Do not use the telephone to report a gas leak in the vicinity
of the leak.
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.
