•Some equipment has a three-wire grounding plug. This type of plug has a third grounding pin. As a safety feature, the plug only fits into an isolated ground outlet. If you cannot insert the plug completely into the outlet, contact your electrician to replace the outlet.

•Some equipment has a polarized line plug. This type of plug has one blade wider than the other. As a safety feature, this plug fits into the power outlet one way. If you cannot insert the plug completely into the outlet, try reversing the plug. If the plug still does not fit, contact your electrician to replace the outlet.

•Do not place objects on the power cord. Do not locate the product where persons can walk on the plug.

•Do not overload wall outlets and extension cords, as fire or electrical shock can result.

•Never push objects of any kind into the telephone through the slots. The objects can come in contact with dangerous voltage points. Also, parts can short out, causing the risk of fire or electrical shock.

•Never spill liquid of any kind on the product.

•To reduce the risk of electrical shock, do not disassemble a telephone product.

•Remove the telephone plug from the wall outlet and refer servicing to qualified personnel if:

—the power supply cord or plug is damaged or worn

—liquid has spilled into the telephone

—the telephone has been exposed to rain or water

—the telephone has been dropped or damaged

—the product shows a distinct change in performance

—the telephone does not function correctly under normal operating conditions

•Avoid using a telephone (except a type without a cord) during an electrical storm. There is a remote risk of electric shock from lightning.
