Electrical safety
DON’T let the Base unit get wet. Electrical equipment can cause serious injury if used while you are wet or standing in water.
If the Base unit ever falls into water, DON’T retrieve it until you have unplugged the telephone line plug from the telephone socket; then pull it out by the unplugged cables.
NEVER use your SpeakEasy 5 outdoors during a thunderstorm - unplug the Base unit from the telephone line when there are storms in your area. Damage caused by lightning is not covered by the guarantee.
Locating the Base unit
The Base unit should be placed on a level surface, in a position where:
the telephone line cable will reach your telephone line socket or extension socket.
it is not close to a sink, bath or shower, or anywhere else where it might get wet.
it is not close to other electrical equipment - fridges, washing machines, microwave ovens, TVs, fluorescent lights, etc.
Cleaning and care
Don’t clean any part of your SpeakEasy 5 with benzene, thinner or other solvent chemicals - this may cause permanent damage which is not covered by the Guarantee. When necessary, clean it with a damp cloth.
Keep your SpeakEasy 5 away from hot, humid conditions or strong sunlight, and don’t let it get wet.
