Always follow basic safety precautions when using your telephone equipment to reduce the risk
of fire, electrical shock, and injury.
1. Read and understand all instructions in the EMC-60 User Guide.
2. Read all warnings and follow all instructions.
CAUTION – Do not replace the batteries with alkaline batteries. Use only an
identical rechargeable battery or a battery recommended and supplied by the
manufacturer. Unplug the battery if the mains power will be disconnected and the
phone not in use for long periods.
3. Do not use liquid or aerosol cleaners.
4. Do not use the telephone near water, a bathtub, wash bowl, kitchen sink, laundry tub,
swimming pool or in a wet basement.
5. Use only the power source supplied by the manufacturer or specified in these
instructions. If you are not sure of the type of substitute power supply, consult your
dealer or the manufacturer.
6. Never spill liquid on the telephone or push objects of any kind through openings. Liquid
or objects may touch dangerous voltage points or short out parts that could result in a
risk of fire or electrical shock.
