General safety
When using your Minicom IV, basic safety pre-
cautions should always be followed to reduce
the risk of fire, electric shock, and injury to
persons.
1. Read and understand all instructions.
2. Follow all warnings and instructions marked
on the Minicom IV.
3. Unplug the Minicom IV from the wall outlet
before cleaning. Do not use liquid or aerosol
cleaners. Use a damp cloth for cleaning.
4. Do not use the Minicom IV near water, for
example, near a bath tub, wash bowl,
kitchen sink, laundry tub, in a wet basement,
or near a swimming pool.
5. Do not place the Minicom IV on an unstable
cart, stand, or table. The product may fall,
causing serious damage to the Minicom IV.
6. This product should be operated only from
the type of power source indicated on the
marking label. If you are not sure of the type
of power supply to your home, consult your
dealer or local power company.
7. Do not allow anything to rest on the power
cord. Do not locate the Minicom IV where
the cord will be damaged by persons walk-
ing on it.
8. Do not overload wall outlets and extension
cords. This overloading can result in a fire
or electric shock.
9. To reduce the risk of electric shock, do not
disassemble the Minicom IV, but take it to a
qualified service person when service or
repair work is required. Opening or removing
covers may expose you to dangerous voltages
or other risks. Incorrect re-assembly can
cause electric shock when you use the
unit again.
10. Avoid using a telephone (except a cordless
type) during an electrical storm. There is a
remote risk of electric shock from lightning.
11. Unplug the Minicom IV from the wall outlet
and refer servicing to qualified service
personnel under the following conditions:
a. When the power supply cord or plug is
damaged or frayed.
b. If liquid has been spilled into the
Minicom IV.
c. If the Minicom IV has been exposed to
rain or water.
d. If the Minicom IV does not operate nor-
mally by following the operating instruc-
tions. Adjust only those controls, that are
covered by the operating instructions
because improper adjustment of other
controls may result in damage and will
often require extensive work by a quali-
fied technician to restore the Minicom IV
to normal operation.
e. If the Minicom IV has been dropped
and/or damaged.
f. If the Minicom IV exhibits a distinct
change in performance.
12. Do not use the telephone to report a gas
leak in the vicinity of the leak.
Battery safety
Caution:
To reduce the risk of fire or injury to
persons, read and follow these instructions:
1. Use only the type and size battery specified
in the battery instructions for your unit.
2. Do not dispose of the batteries in a fire.
Cells may explode. Check local codes for
possible special disposal instructions.
3. Do not open or mutilate the batteries.
Released electrolyte is corrosive and may
cause damage to the eyes or skin. It may be
toxic if swallowed.
4. Exercise care in handling batteries in order
not to short them with conducting materials
such as rings, bracelets, and keys. The bat-
tery or conductor may overheat and cause
burns.
