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 may be a slight chance of electric shock from lightning.

•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.

•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 liquid, 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, see the Troubleshooting section on pages 67-74 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 80-81. Do not open this product except as directed in your user’s manual. Opening the product or reassembling it incorrectly may expose you to hazardous voltages or other risks.

•Replace the backup battery only as described in your user’s manual (see page 6). Do not burn or puncture batteries — they contain caustic chemicals.

•This 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, an under- the-table or cabinet outlet.
