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:
1. Read and understand all instructions.
2. Follow all warnings and instructions marked on the telephone.
3. Avoid contact with liquids. Do not locate base unit or handset near
water, for example, near a bathtub, wash basin, sink or laundry tub, in
a wet basement or near a swimming pool.
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 the owner’s manual. If you are not sure of the volt-
age in your home, consult your dealer or local power company.
10. Do not allow anything to rest on the power cord or locate this prod-
uct in an area where the power cord is likely to be damaged by furni-
ture or foot trac.
11. Do not overload wall outlets or extension cords as this can increase
the risk of fire or electrical shock.
12. 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.

13. 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.
14. Unplug this product from the wall outlet and refer servicing to the
manufacturer under the following conditions: when the power supply
cord or plug is frayed or damaged; if liquid has been spilled into the
product; if the telephone has been exposed to rain or water; if the
telephone has been dropped or the case has been damaged; if the
telephone exhibits a distinct change in performance; if the telephone
does not operate normally by following the operating instructions.
Adjust only those controls that are covered by the operating
instructions. Improper adjustment may require extensive work by a
qualified technician to restore the telephone to normal operation if
the telephone does not operate normally by following the operating
instructions.
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.

source indicated on the marking label. If you are not sure of the type
of power supply to your home, consult your local power company.

24. Exposure to high volume sound levels or excessive sound pressure
may cause temporary or permanent damage to your hearing.
Although there is no single volume setting that is appropriate for
everyone, you should always use your telephone 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 aected. If you experience hearing discomfort,
you should have your hearing checked by a doctor. To protect your
hearing, you should:
A) Set the volume control in a low position and gradually
increase the volume as needed. Before pressing the BOOST
button, reduce the volume to the lowest level. Use the phone
on the lowest volume setting as possible.
B) Limit the amount of time you use the telephone at high
volume levels.
25. If you experience a skin irritation after using this product,
discontinue use and contact Clarity.
