Safety Instructions (continued)

This symbol is to alert you to important operating or servicing instructions that may appear in your owner’s manual. When using your telephone equipment, always follow these basic safety precautions in order to reduce the risk of fire, electric shock, and injury to persons.

15.Unplug this product from the wall outlet before cleaning. Do not use liquid cleaners or aerosol cleaners; use a damp cloth for cleaning. If the product comes in contact with any liquid, unplug the phone line and the power adapter and let the unit dry thoroughly before plugging it back in.

16.This product should be operated only from the type of power source indicated on the marking label or in the owner’s manual. If you are not sure of the type of power supply to your home, consult your dealer or local power company.

17.Do not overload wall outlets and extension cords, as this can result in the risk of fire or electric shock.

18.Never push objects of any kind into this product through cabinet slots, as they may touch dangerous voltage points or short out parts, resulting in the risk of fire or electric shock. Never spill liquid of any kind on the product.

19.To reduce the risk of electric shock, do not disassemble this product, but take it to a quali- fied serviceman when service or repair work is required. Opening or removing covers may expose you to dangerous voltage or other risks. Incorrect reassembly can cause electric shock when this product is subsequently used.

20.Unplug this product from the wall outlet and refer servicing to qualified service personnel under the following conditions: a) when the power supply cord or plug is damaged or frayed; b) if liquid has spilled into the product; c) if the product has been exposed to rain or water; d) if the product does not operate normally when you follow the operating instructions (adjust only those controls that are discussed in the owner’s manual, as improper adjustment of other controls may result in damage, often requiring extensive work by a qualified technician to restore the product to normal performance); e) if the product has been dropped or the cabinet has been damaged; f) if the product exhibits a distinct change in performance.

21.Avoid using a telephone (other than a cordless type) during an electrical storm. There may be a remote risk of electric shock from lightning.

22.Do not use a telephone in the vicinity of a gas leak. If you suspect a gas leak, report it immediately, but use a telephone away from the area where gas is leaking. With a cordless phone, also make sure that the phone base is away from the gas leak.

23.Grounding or Polarization - This product may be equipped with a polarized alternating cur- rent line plug (a plug having one blade wider than the other). This plug will fit into the power outlet only one way. This is a safety feature. If you are unable to insert the plug fully into the outlet, try reversing the plug. If the plug still fails to fit, contact your electrician to replace the obsolete outlet. Do not defeat the safety purpose of the grounding-type plug.
