Never push objects of any kind into 
this product through the slots in the 
telephone base or handset because 
they may touch dangerous voltage 
points or create a short circuit. Never 
spill liquid of any kind on the product.
To reduce the risk of electric shock, 
do not disassemble this product, 
but take it to an authorized service 
facility. Opening or removing parts of 
the telephone base or handset other 
than specified access doors may 
expose you to dangerous voltages or 
other risks. Incorrect reassembling 
can cause electric shock when the 
product is subsequently used.
Do not overload wall outlets and 
extension cords.
Unplug this product from the wall 
outlet and refer servicing to an 
authorized service facility under the 
following conditions:

When the power supply cord or 
plug is damaged or frayed.
If liquid has been spilled onto the 
product.
If the product has been exposed

Avoid using a telephone (other than 
cordless) during an electrical storm. 
There is a remote risk of electric 
shock from lightning.
Do not use the telephone to report 
a gas leak in the vicinity of the 
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. The 
user should not plug the phone 
into a power outlet, and should 
not put a charged handset into 
the cradle, if the phone is located 
in an environment containing 
concentrations of flammable or 
flame-supporting gases, unless there 
is adequate ventilation. 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.
Only put the handset of your 
telephone next to your ear when it is 
in normal talk mode.
The power adapters are intended to 
be correctly oriented in a vertical or 
floor mount position. The prongs are 
not designed to hold the plug in place 
if it is plugged into a ceiling,  
under-the-table or cabinet outlet.

CAUTION: Use Only Supplied 
Battery.
Do not dispose of the battery in a fire. 
Check with local waste management 
codes for special disposal instructions.
