12. To reduce the risk of electric shock, do not disassemble this product, but take
it to an authorised service facility. Opening or removing parts of the handset
other than specied access doors may expose you to dangerous voltages or
other risks. Incorrect reassembling can cause electric shock when the product
is subsequently used.
13. Do not overload wall outlets and extension cords.
14. Unplug this product from the wall outlet and refer servicing to an authorised
service facility under the following conditions:
A. When the power supply cord or plug is damaged or frayed.
B. If liquid has been spilled onto the product.
C. If the product has been exposed to rain or water.
D. If the product does not operate normally by following the operating
instructions. Adjust only those controls that are covered by the
operation instructions. Improper adjustment of other controls may
result in damage and often requires extensive work by an authorised
technician to restore the product to normal operation.
E. If the product has been dropped and the telephone base and/or
handset has been damaged.
F. If the product exhibits a distinct change in performance.
15. Avoid using a telephone (other than cordless) during an electrical storm.
There is a remote risk of electric shock from lightning.
16. Do not use the telephone to report a gas leak in the vicinity of the leak. Under
certain circumstances, a spark may be created when the adapter is plugged
into the power outlet, or when the handset is replaced in its cradle. This is a
common event associated with the closing of any electrical circuit. The user
should not plug the phone into a power outlet, and should not put a charged
handset into the cradle, if the phone is located in an environment containing
concentrations of ammable or ame-supporting gases, unless there is
adequate ventilation. A spark in such an environment could create a re or
explosion. Such environments might include: medical use of oxygen without
adequate ventilation; industrial gases (cleaning solvents; gasoline vapours;
etc.); a leak of natural gas; etc.
17. Only put the handset of your telephone next to your ear when it is in normal
talk mode.
18. The power adapters are intended to be correctly oriented in a vertical or oor
mount position. The prongs are not designed to hold the plug in place if it is
plugged into a ceiling, under-the-table or cabinet outlet.
19. Use only the power cord indicated in this manual.
Power adapter rating: 6.0 Vdc @ 600 mA

Maintenance
Taking care of your telephone
• Your base station and cordless deskset contain sophisticated electronic parts,
so you must treat them with care.
• Avoid rough treatment.
• Place the handset down gently.
• Save the original packing materials to protect your products if you ever need to
ship them.
Avoid water
• You can damage your cordless telephone if it gets wet. Do not use the handset
in the rain, or handle it with wet hands. Do not install the base station and
deskset near a sink, bathtub or shower.
Electrical storms
• Electrical storms can sometimes cause power surges harmful to electronic
equipment. For your own safety, take caution when using electric appliances
during storms.
Cleaning your telephone
• Your products have a durable plastic casing that should retain its luster for
many years. Clean it only with a soft cloth slightly dampened with water or a
mild soap.
• Do not use excess water or cleaning solvents of any kind.
Remember that electrical appliances can cause serious injury if used when you
are wet or standing in water. If the telephone base should fall into water, DO NOT
RETRIEVE IT UNTIL YOU UNPLUG THE POWER CORD FROM THE WALL, then
pull the unit out by the unplugged cord.
