Safety information
f
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 may 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.
f
