Safety information
Read and understand all instructions in this quick start guide and the online user’s manual.
Observe all markings on the product.
Avoid using a telephone during a thunderstorm. There might be a slight chance of electric
shock from lightning.
Do not use a telephone in the vicinity of a gas 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 flammable or
flame-supporting gases, unless there is adequate ventilation. A spark in such an environment could
create a fire or explosion. Such environments may include: medical use of oxygen without adequate
ventilation; industrial gases (cleaning solvents; gasoline vapors; etc.); a leak of natural gas; etc.
Do not use this product near water, or when you are wet. For example, do not use it in a
wet basement or shower, or next to a swimming pool, bathtub, kitchen sink, or laundry tub. Do
not use liquids or aerosol sprays for cleaning. If the product comes in contact with any liquids,
unplug any line or power cord immediately. Do not plug the product back in until it has dried
thoroughly.
Install this product in a protected location where no one can trip over any line or power
cords. Protect cords from damage or abrasion.
If this product does not operate normally, read Troubleshooting on pages 17-20 in this
quick start guide. If you cannot solve the problem, or if the product is damaged, refer to
Limited warranty on pages 28-29. Do not open this product except as may be directed in
this quick start guide and the online user’s manual. Opening the product or reassembling it
incorrectly may expose you to hazardous voltages or other risks.
Replace batteries only as described in Battery installation on pages 4-5 in this quick start
guide. Do not burn or puncture batteries — they contain caustic chemicals.
The power adapters are intended to be correctly oriented in a vertical or floor mount
position. The prongs are not designed to hold the plug in place if they are plugged into a
ceiling or an under-the-table or cabinet outlet.
