Observe all markings on the product.
Avoid using a telephone during a thunderstorm.
There might be a slight chance of electric
shock from lightning.
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. 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.

Especially about cordless telephones
Privacy:
The same features that make a cordless telephone convenient create some limitations.
Telephone calls are transmitted between the telephone base and the handset by radio waves, so
there is a possibility that your cordless telephone conversations could be intercepted by radio
receiving equipment within range of the cordless handset.
For this reason, you should not think
of cordless telephone conversations as being as private as those on corded telephones.
