Only plug the power adapter into a suitable and easily accessible power socket. Do not touch the power adapter with wet hands as this could cause an electric shock. If the power adapter has to be replaced, it must be replaced only by a power adapter of the same type and manufacturer. Unplug the power adapter from the mains under the following circumstances:

• in any dangerous situation

WARNING! Cables

Always hold cables by the plug and never pull on the cable itself. Never place heavy objects or furniture on the cables and take care that the cord does not become trapped, especially at the plug and sockets. Never tie knots in a cable and do not tie them to other cables. All cables must be laid so that nobody can trip over them or be obstructed by them.

*1 If the answering machine is on it will answer the call after min. 10 rings. After pressing the * button twice and entering your remote access security code you can switch the answering machine on.

If you frequently listen to your messages remotely, we recommend configuring the Toll Saver mode. In Toll Saver mode the device will answer the call after 5 rings if there are no new messages. When there are new messages, incoming calls will be answered after the second ring. If it takes more than 2 rings, there are no new messages and you can dial off before the answering machine answers the call and costs are incurred. This function is described in the "Ans Machine (Answering Machine)" chapter.

When using the pulse dial mode with a PBX, malfunctions may occur. This is because the PBX misinterprets the dial pulses. Switch to tone dial mode.

Maintenance / cleaning

Repairs are required if this device has been damaged in any way, for example, if the power adapter, charging cradle or housing is damaged, if liquid or objects have penetrated the device, if the product has been exposed to rain or moisture or if the product does not work normally or has been dropped. If you notice any smoke, unusual noise or strange smells, switch off the device immediately and pull the power adapter from the wall socket. If this occurs, do not continue to use the device and have it checked out by an expert. All servicing work must be carried out by qualified specialist personnel. Never open the housing of the device, the power adapter or the accessories. Opening the housing can expose you to a lethal electric shock. Only use a clean, dry cloth for cleaning. Never use aggressive liquids.
