IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
Always follow these basic safety precautions when using your
telephone equipment. These precautions reduce the risk of
fire, electrical 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.
v

Do not use the telephone during electrical storms in
your immediate area. There is a remote risk of
electrical 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 telephone.
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 electrical 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 electrical shock when the
telephone is used.
Call your sales representative or authorized dealer
when service or repair work is needed.

Your Single-Line
Telephone
Your telephone is one of several single-line telephones that
can be used with your communications system. This chapter
describes some of these telephones. The buttons on the
phones are explained later in this chapter. Some single-line
telephones have factory-imprinted buttons (e.g.,
Recall,
Hold,
and Flash) that activate telephone features different
from features of the system. To use system features, you may
be required to use the switchhook, instead of the
Recall,
Hold, or Flash button.
