ROTECTION
Your telephone has built-in protection circuits to
reduce the risk of damage from surges in telephone
line and power line current. These protection
circuits meet or exceed the FCC requirements.
However, lightning striking the telephone or power
lines can damage your telephone.
Lightning damage is not common. Nevertheless, if
you live in an area that has severe electrical storms,
we suggest that you unplug your phone when
storms approach to reduce the possibility of
damage.
IMPORTANT SAFETY
INSTRUCTIONS
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. Do not use this product near water, for
example, near a bathtub, wash bowl, kitchen
sink, or laundry tub, in a wet basement or near
a swimming pool.
2. Avoid using a telephone (other than a cordless
type) during an electrical storm. There may be
a remote risk of electric shock from lightning.
3. Do not use the telephone to report a gas leak in
the vicinity of the leak.
