sink, or swimming pool).
5. Do not place this product on an unstable surface. The product may fall,
causing serious damage.
6. Slots and openings in the Handset and Base Unit are provided for ventilation.

short out parts that could result in a risk of fire or electric shock. Never spill

take it to an authorized service facility. Opening or removing cabinet parts
other than specified access doors may expose you to dangerous voltages
or other risks. Incorrect reassembling can cause electric shock when the
