Important safety information
This symbol is to alert you to important operating or servicing instructions
that may appear in this user’s manual. Always follow basic safety
precautions when using this product to reduce the risk of injury, fire, or
electric shock.
Safety information
Read and understand all instructions in the user’s manual. 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.
Do not use this product near water, or when you are wet. For example, do
not use it in a wet basement or shower, or next to a swimming pool, bathtub,
kitchen sink, or laundry tub. Do not use liquids or aerosol sprays for cleaning.
If the product comes in contact with any liquids, unplug any line or power cord
immediately. Do not plug the product back in until it has dried thoroughly.
Install this product in a protected location where no one can trip over any line
or power cords. Protect cords from damage or abrasion.
If this product does not operate normally, read the
Troubleshooting
section on
pages 12-21 of this user’s manual. If you cannot solve the problem, or if the
product is damaged, refer to the
Limited warranty
section on pages 34-35. Do
not open this product except as may be directed in your user’s manual. Opening
the product or reassembling it incorrectly may expose you to hazardous voltages
or other risks.
Replace batteries only as described in your user’s manual (pages 6-8). Do not
burn or puncture batteries — they contain caustic chemicals.
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.
For pluggable equipment, the socket-outlet shall be installed near the
equipment and shall be easily accessible.
