The exclamation point in an
equilateral triangle is intended to alert
the user to the presence of important
operating and maintenance
(servicing) instructions in the
literature accompanying the product.
IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
Always follow these basic safety precautions when using your
telephone equipment. These precautions reduce the risk of fire,
electric shock, and injury to you and damage to the equipment.
■ Read and understand all instructions.
■ Follow all warnings and instructions marked on or packed with
the telephone.
■ Do not use the telephone near water, as in a wet basement.
The telephone can be hazardous if immersed in water. To
avoid the possibility of electrical shock, do not use it when you
are wet. If you accidentally drop it into water, do not retrieve it
until you have first unplugged the line cord from the modular
wall jack. Do not plug the telephone back in until it has dried
thoroughly.
■ Do not use the telephone (other than a cordless-type
telephone) during electrical storms in your immediate area.
There is a remote risk of electric shock from lightning.
■ Unplug the telephone from the wall outlet before cleaning.
Use a damp cloth for cleaning. Do not use liquid or aerosol
cleaners on the phone.

■
Never push objects of any kind into the telephone through
openings or slots. Never spill liquid of any kind on the
telephone.
Do not use the telephone near a gas leak. If you suspect a
gas leak, report it immediately, but use a telephone away from
the area in question. The telephone’s electrical contacts could
generate a tiny spark. While unlikely, it is possible that the
spark could ignite heavy concentrations of gas.
To reduce the risk of electric shock, do not disassemble the
telephone. There are no user-serviceable parts inside.
Opening or removing covers may expose you to hazardous
voltages, and incorrect reassembly can cause electric shock
when the telephone is used.
Call your AT&T representative or authorized dealer when
service or repair work is needed.
Accessories include answering machines, alerts, modems,
and fax machines. To connect an accessory, you must first
have a Multi-Function Module (MFM).
WARNING:
■ For your personal safety DO NOT install an MFM
yourself.
■ ONLY an authorized AT&T technician or dealer rep-
resentative shall install, set options, or repair an MFM.
■ To eliminate the risk of personal injury due to electric
shock, DO NOT attempt to install or remove an MFM
from your MLX telephone. Opening or removing the
module cover of your telephone may expose you to
dangerous voltages.
