9. Do not allow anything to rest on the
power cord. Do not install this product
where the cord may be walked on.
10. 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.
11. 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.
12. Do not overload wall outlets and
extension cords.
13. 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 to
rain or water.
• If the product does not operate
normally by following the operating
instructions. Adjust only those controls
that are covered by the operation
instructions. Improper adjustment of
other controls may result in damage
and often requires extensive work by
an authorized technician to restore the
product to normal operation.
• If the product has been dropped and
the telephone base and/or handset
has been damaged.
• If the product exhibits a distinct
change in performance.
14. Avoid using a telephone (other than
cordless) during an electrical storm.
There is a remote risk of electric shock
from lightning.
15. 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.
16. Only put the handset of your
telephone next to your ear when it is
in normal talk mode.
17. The power adapter is 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.
18. For pluggable equipment, the
socket-outlet shall be installed near
the equipment and shall be easily
accessible.
19.
CAUTION:
Use only the batteries
indicated in this manual. There may
be a risk of explosion if a wrong type
of battery is used for the handset.
Use only the supplied rechargeable
batteries or replacement batteries
(BT162342/BT262342) for the handset.
