IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
BEFORE USINGYOUR TELEPHONE EQUIPMENT, BASIC SAFETY
PRECAUTIONS SHOULD ALWAYS BE FOLLOWED TO REDUCE
THE RISK OF FIRE, ELECTRIC SHOCKAND INJURY TO PERSONS,
INCLUDING THE FOLLOWING:
11. To reduce the risk of electric shock, do not disassemble this product,
but take it to a qualified serviceman when some service or repair
work is required. Opening or removing covers may expose you to
dangerous voltages or other risks. Incorrect reassembly can cause
electric shock when the appliance is subsequently used.
12. Unplug this product from the wall outlet and refer servicing to qualified
service personnel under the following conditions:
3. Do not open or mutilate the batteries. Released electrolyte is corrosive
and may cause damage to the eyes or skin. It may be toxic if swallowed.
4. Exercise care in handling batteries in order not to short the batteries
with conduction materials such as rings, bracelets, and keys. The
batteries or conductors may overheat and cause burns.
5. Do not attempt to recharge the batteries identified for use with this
product. The batteries may leak corrosive electrolyte or explode.
6. Do not attempt to rejuvenate the batteries identified for use with this
product by heating them. Sudden release of the battery electrolyte
may occur causing burns or irritation to eyes or skin.
7. When replacing batteries, all batteries should be replaced at the same
time. Mixing fresh and discharged batteries could increase internal
cell pressure and rupture the discharged batteries.
8. When inserting batteries into this product, the proper polarity or
direction must be observed. Reverse insertion of the batteries can
cause charging, and that may result in leakage or explosion.
9. Remove the batteries from this product if the product will not be used
for a long period of time (several months or more) since during this
time the batteries could leak in the product.
1. Read and understand all instructions.
2. Follow all warnings and instructions marked on the product.
3. Unplug this product from the wall telephone jack and power outlet
before cleaning. Do not use liquid cleaners or aerosol cleaners. Use
a damp cloth for cleaning.
4. Do not use this product near water, for example, near a bath tub,
wash bowl, kitchen sink, or laundry tub, in a wet basement, or near a
swimming pool.
5. Do not place this product on an unstable cart, stand, or table. The
product may fall, causing serious damage to the product.
6. Slots or openings in the cabinet and the back and bottom are provided
for ventilation, to protect it from overheating. These openings must
not be blocked or covered. The openings should never be blocked by
placing the product on a bed, or other similar surface. This product
should never be placed near or over a radiator or heat register.
7. This product should be operated only from the type of power source
indicated on the marking label. If you are not sure of the type of
power supply to your home, consult your dealer or local power
company.
a. When the power supply cord or plug is damaged or frayed.
b. If liquid has been spilled into the product.
c. If the product has been exposed to rain or water.
d. If the product does not operate normally by following the operating
instructions. Adjust only those controls that are covered by the
operating instructions because improper adjustment of other
controls may result in damage and will often require extensive
work by a qualified technician to restore the product to normal
operation.
e. If the product has been dropped or cabinet has been damaged.
f. If the product exhibits a distinct change in performance.
13. Avoid using a telephone (other than a cordless type) during an
electrical storm. There may be a remote risk of electric shock from
lightning.
10. Discard “dead” batteries as soon as possible since “dead” batteries
are more likely to leak in a product.
14. Do not use the telephone to report a gas leak in the vicinity of the
leak.
11. Do not store this product, or the batteries identified for use with this
product, in high-temperature areas. Batteries that are stored in a freezer
or refrigerator for the purpose of extending shelf life should be
protected from condensation during storage and defrosting. Batteries
should be stabilized at room temperature prior to use after cold storage.
8. Do not allow anything to rest on the power cord. Do not locate this
product where the cord will be abused by persons walking on it. Do
not attach the power cord to building surfaces.
SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS FOR BATTERIES
9. Do not overload wall outlets and extension cords as this can result in
the risk of fire or electric shock.
10. Never push objects of any kind into this product through cabinet slots
as they may touch dangerous voltage points or short out parts that
could result in the risk of fire or electric shock. Never spill liquid of
any kind on the product.
CAUTION
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
TO REDUCE THE RISK OF FIRE OR INJURY TO PERSONS, READ
AND FOLLOW THESE INSTRUCTIONS.
1. Use only 3 x 1.5V AA size alkaline batteries.
2. Do not dispose of the batteries in a fire. The cells may explode. Check
with local codes for possible special disposal instructions.
