Safety instructions when using telephone equipment

Always follow basic safety precautions when using telephone equipment. Following these safety precautions reduces the risk of fire, electric shock, and injury to persons, including the following:

•Follow all warnings and instructions marked on the product.

•Before you clean a telephone, remove the plug from the wall outlet. Do not use liquid cleaners or aerosol cleaners. Use a damp cloth for cleaning.

•Do not use the telephone near water (for example, near a tub or sink).

•Do not place the telephone on a piece of furniture that is unstable. The telephone can fall, causing serious damage to the telephone.

•Slots and openings in the cabinet and the back or bottom of the telephone are for ventilation. These ventilation slots protect the telephone from overheating. Never block or cover these openings.

Never block the openings on a telephone by placing the product on a surface like a bed, sofa, or rug. Never place the product near or over a radiator or heat register. Do not place the product in a built-in installation, unless there is correct ventilation.

•Only operate the product from the type of power source indicated on the marking label. If you are not sure of the type of power supply, check with your distributor.
