Sensaphone 1800 - Manual (Page 5)

Important Safety Instructions
Your Sensaphone 1800 has been carefully designed to give you years of safe,
reliable performance. As with all electrical equipment, however, there are a few
basic precautions you should take to avoid hurting yourself or damaging the unit:
• Read the installation and operating instructions in this manual carefully. Be
sure to save it for future reference.
• Read and follow all warning and instruction labels on the product itself.
• To protect the Sensaphone 1800 from overheating, make sure all openings
on the unit are not blocked. Do not place on or near a heat source, such as a
radiator or heat register.
• Do not use your Sensaphone 1800 near water, or spill liquid of any kind into it.
• Be certain that your power source matches the rating listed on the AC power
transformer. If you’re not sure of the type of power supply to your facility,
consult your dealer or local power company.
• Do not allow anything to rest on the power cord. Do not locate this product
where the cord will be abused by persons walking on it.
• Do not overload wall outlets and extension cords, as this can result in the risk
of fire or electric shock.
• Never push objects of any kind into this product through ventilation holes as
they may touch dangerous voltage points or short out parts that could result in
a risk of fire or electric shock.
• To reduce the risk of electric shock, do not disassemble this product, but
return it to Sensaphone Customer Service or another approved repair facility
when any service or repair work is required. Opening or removing covers may
expose you to dangerous voltages or other risks. Incorrect reassembly can
cause electric shock when the unit is subsequently used.
• If anything happens that indicates that your Sensaphone 1800 is not working
properly or has been damaged, unplug it immediately and follow the
procedures in the manual for having it serviced. Return the unit for servicing
under the following conditions:
1. The power cord or plug is frayed or damaged.
2. Liquid has been spilled into the product or it has been exposed to water.
3. The unit has been dropped, or the enclosure is damaged.
4. The unit doesn’t function normally when you’re following the operating
instructions.
• Avoid using a telephone (other than a cordless type) during an electrical
storm. There may be a remote risk of electric shock from lightning.
• Do not use the telephone to report a gas leak in the vicinity of the leak.
