WARNING!
The PhoneMax is capable of amplifying sounds to a very loud vol-
ume. Instruct all potential users in its proper operation. Do not let children play
with the Phonemax. When the volume control is set to SOFT, the Phonemax func-
tions as a normal telephone.
WARNING!
This telephone can produce very high (loud) sound levels. Always
adjust the volume control to the minimum setting after using the phone and alert
other users that hearing damage can potentially result from misuse.
WARNING!
This product can be hazardous if immersed in water. To avoid
the possibility of electrical shock, do not use it while in the bathtub or shower, or
when you are wet. If you accidentally drop it into water, do not retrieve it until
you have first unplugged the line cord from the modular wall jack. Do not plug the
telephone back in until it has dried thoroughly.
Avoid using the telephone during electrical storms in your immediate area. Urgent
calls should be brief. Even though your telephone company may be using protec-
tive measures to limit electrical surges from entering your home, absolute protec-
tion from lighting is impossible.
If you suspect a gas leak, report it immediately. But use a telephone away from the
affected area. The telephone’s electrical contacts could create a tiny spark. While
unlikely, it is possible this spark could ignite heavy concentrations of gas.
