tions marked on the telephone.

bathtub, wash basin, kitchen sink
or laundry tub, in a wet basement,
near a swimming pool or any
where else there is water.
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.

surface. Serious damage and/or
injury may result if the

8. Do not cover the slots and open-
ings on this telephone. This tele-
phone should never be placed
near or over a radiator or heat
register. This telephone should
not be placed in a built-in insta-
llation 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 voltage
in your home, consult your dealer
or local power company.
10. Do not place anything on the
power cord. Install the telephone
where no one will step or trip on
the cord.
11. Do not overload wall outlets or
extension cords as this can increase
the risk of fire or electrical shock.

the slots in the telephone. They
can touch dangerous voltage
points or short out parts that
