Use a damp cloth for cleaning.
4. Do not use this product near water (for example, near a bath tub, kitchen sink, or swimming pool).
5. Do not place this product on an unstable cart, stand, or table. The product may fall, causing serious
damage to the product.
6. Slots and openings in the cabinet and the back or bottom are provided for ventilation. To protect it
from overheating, these openings must not be blocked by placing the product on the bed, sofa, rug,
or other similar surface. This product should never be placed near or over a radiator or heat register.
This product should not be placed in a built-in-installation where proper ventilation is not provided.

If you are not sure of the type of power supply to your home, consult your dealer or local power
company.
8. Do not allow anything to rest on the power cord. Do not locate this product where the cord will be
abused by persons walking on it.
9. Never push objects of any kind into this product through cabinet slots as they may touch dangerous
voltage points or short out parts that could result in a risk of fire or electric shock. Never spill liquid of
any kind on the product.
10. To reduce the risk of electric shock, do not disassemble this product. If service or repair work is
required, contact VTech Customer Service at 1-800-595-9511. 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 appliance is subsequently used.

to normal operation.
e) If the product has been dropped and the cabinet has been damaged.
