IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
The most careful attention has been devoted to quality standards
in the manufacture of your new telephone. Safety is a major
factor in the design of every set, but, safety is YOUR
responsibility too.
Please read carefully the helpful tips listed below and on the next
page. These suggestions will enable you to take full advantage of
your new telephone. Then, retain these tips for later use.
Use
When using your telephone equipment, the following safety
precautions should always be followed to reduce the risk of fire,
electric shock, and injury to persons.
•Read and understand all instructions.
•Follow all warnings and instructions marked on the telephone.
•This telephone can be hazardous if immersed in water. To
avoid the possibility of electric shock, do not use it while you
are wet. If you accidentally drop the telephone into water, do
not retrieve it until you have first unplugged the line cord from
the modular jack. Then, call service personnel to ask about a
replacement.
•Avoid using the telephone during electrical storms in your
immediate area. There is a risk of electric shock from lightning.
Urgent calls should be brief. Even though protective measures
may have been installed to limit electrical surges from entering
your business, absolute protection from lightning is impossible.
•If you suspect a natural gas leak, report it immediately, but use
a telephone away from the area in question. The telephone’s
electrical contacts could generate a tiny spark. While unlikely, it
is possible that this spark could ignite heavy concentrations of
gas.
•Never push objects of any kind into the equipment through
housing slots since they may touch hazardous voltage points or
short out parts that could result in a risk of electric shock.
•Never spill liquid of any kind on the telephone. If liquid is
spilled, however, refer servicing to proper service personnel.
•To reduce the risk of electric shock, do not disassemble this
telephone. There are no user serviceable parts. Opening or
removing covers may expose you to hazardous voltages.
Incorrect reassembly can cause electric shock when the
telephone is subsequently used.
