line cord to be excessively pulled, bent or  
placed under heavy objects.  
For your safety  
R It is advised not to use the equipment at a  
refuelling point. Users are reminded to  
observe restrictions on the use of radio  
equipment in fuel depots, chemical plants  
or where blasting operations are in  
progress.  
To prevent severe injury and loss of life/

using the product to ensure proper and safe  
operation of your product.  
WARNING  
Operating safeguards  
Power connection  
R Unplug the product from power outlets  
before cleaning. Do not use liquid or  
aerosol cleaners.  
R Do not disassemble the product.  
R Do not spill liquids (detergents, cleansers,  
etc.) onto the telephone line cord plug, or  
allow it to become wet at all. This may  
cause a fire. If the telephone line cord plug  
becomes wet, immediately pull it from the  
telephone wall socket, and do not use.  
R Use only the power source marked on the  
product.  
R Do not overload power outlets and  
extension cords. This can result in the risk  
of fire or electric shock.  
R Completely insert the AC adaptor/power  
plug into the power outlet. Failure to do so  
may cause electric shock and/or excessive  
heat resulting in a fire.  
R Regularly remove any dust, etc. from the  
AC adaptor/power plug by pulling it from  
the power outlet, then wiping with a dry  
cloth. Accumulated dust may cause an  
insulation defect from moisture, etc.  
resulting in a fire.  
R Unplug the product from power outlets if it  
emits smoke, an abnormal smell, or makes  
an unusual noise. These conditions can  
cause fire or electric shock. Confirm that  
smoke has stopped emitting and contact an  
authorised service centre.  
R Unplug from power outlets and never touch  
the inside of the product if its casing has  
been broken open.  
Medical  
R Consult the manufacturer of any personal  
medical devices, such as pacemakers or  
hearing aids, to determine if they are  
adequately shielded from external RF  
(radio frequency) energy. (The product  
operates in the frequency range of  
1.88 GHz to 1.90 GHz, and the RF  
transmission power is 250 mW (max.).)  
R Do not use the product in health care  
facilities if any regulations posted in the  
area instruct you not to do so. Hospitals or  
health care facilities may be using  
equipment that could be sensitive to  
external RF energy.  
R Never touch the plug with wet hands.  
Danger of electric shock exists.  
Installation  
CAUTION  
R To prevent the risk of fire or electrical  
shock, do not expose the product to rain or  
any type of moisture.  
R Do not place or use this product near  
automatically controlled devices such as  
automatic doors and fire alarms. Radio  
waves emitted from this product may cause  
such devices to malfunction resulting in an  
accident.  
Installation and location  
R Never install telephone wiring during an  
electrical storm.  
R Never install telephone line sockets in wet  
locations unless the socket is specifically  
designed for wet locations.  
R Never touch uninsulated telephone wires or  
terminals unless the telephone line has  
been disconnected at the network interface.

the eyes or skin. The electrolyte is toxic and  
may be harmful if swallowed.  
R Exercise care when handling the batteries.  
Do not allow conductive materials such as  
rings, bracelets, or keys to touch the  
batteries, otherwise a short circuit may  
cause the batteries and/or the conductive  
material to overheat and cause burns.  
R Charge the batteries provided with or  
identified for use with this product only, in  
accordance with the instructions and  
limitations specified in this manual.
