IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

When using your telephone equipment, basic safety precautions should always be followed to reduce the risk of fire, electric shock and injury to persons including the following:

I. Read and understand all instructions.
2. Follow all warnings and instructions marked on the telephone.
3. Do not use this telephone near a bath tub, wash basin, kitchen sink or laundry tub, in a wet basement, near a swimming pool or anywhere else there is water.
4. Avoid using a telephone (other than a cordless type) during a storm. There may be a remote risk of electrical shock from lightning.
5. Do not use the telephone to report a gas leak in the vicinity of the leak.
6. Unplug this telephone from the wall outlets before cleaning. Do not use liquid cleaners or aerosol cleaners on the telephone. Use a damp cloth for cleaning.
7. Place this telephone on a stable surface. Serious damage and/or injury may result if the telephone falls.
8. Do not cover the slots and openings on this telephone. This telephone should never be placed near or over a radiator or heat register. This telephone should not be placed in a built-in installation unless proper ventilation is provided.
9. Operate this telephone using the electrical voltage as stated on the base unit or in the owner's manual. If you are not sure of the voltage in your home, consult your dealer or local power company.

1. Do not place anything on the power cord. Install the telephone where no one will step or trip on the cord.
   II. Do not overload wall outlets or extension cords as this can increase the risk of fire or electrical shock.
2. Never push any objects through the slots in the telephone. They can touch dangerous voltage points or short out parts that could result in a risk of fire or electrical shock. Never spill liquid of any kind on the telephone.
3. To reduce the risk of electrical shock, do not take this phone apart. Opening or removing covers may expose you to dangerous voltages or other risks. Incorrect reassembly can cause electric shock when the appliance is subsequently used.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

work by a qualified technician to restore the telephone to normal operation.

E. If the telephone has been dropped or the case has been damaged.
F. If the telephone exhibits a distinct change in performance.
15. Never install telephone wiring during a lightning storm.
16. Never install telephone jacks in wet locations unless the jack is specifically designed for wet locations.
17. Never touch uninsulated telephone wires or terminals unless the telephone line has been disconnected at the network interface.
18. Use caution when installing or modifying telephone lines.
19. Use only the power cord and batteries indicated in the manual. Do not dispose of batteries in a fire. They may explode. Check with local codes for possible special disposal instructions.
20. Plug the AC adaptor into the outlet that is nearest and most accessible to the telephone.

Exposure to high volume sound levels may damage your hearing. Although there is no single volume setting that is appropriate for everyone, you should always use the handset with the volume set at moderate levels and avoid prolonged exposure to high volume sound levels. The louder the volume, the less time is required before your hearing could be affected. If you experience hearing discomfort, you should stop

using the handset. To protect your hearing, some hearing experts suggest that you:

I. Set the volume control in a low position and then adjust the volume to a comfortable level.
2. Limit the amount of time you use the handset at high volume.
3. Avoid turning up the volume to block out noisy surroundings.

CHILDREN: Never allow children to play with the product – small parts may be a choking hazard and the amplified volume may cause hearing damage.
