• Some equipment has a three-wire grounding plug. This type of plug has
a third grounding pin. As a safety feature, the plug only fits into an
isolated ground outlet. If you cannot insert the plug completely into the
outlet, contact your electrician to replace the outlet.
• Some equipment has a polarized line plug. This type of plug has one
blade wider than the other. As a safety feature, this plug fits into the
power outlet one way. If you cannot insert the plug completely into the
outlet, try reversing the plug. If the plug still does not fit, contact your
electrician to replace the outlet.
• Do not place objects on the power cord. Do not locate the product where
persons can walk on the plug.
• Do not overload wall outlets and extension cords, as fire or electrical
shock can result.
• Never push objects of any kind into the telephone through the slots. The
objects can come in contact with dangerous voltage points. Also, parts
can short out, causing the risk of fire or electrical shock.
• Never spill liquid of any kind on the product.
• To reduce the risk of electrical shock, do not disassemble a telephone
product.
• Remove the telephone plug from the wall outlet and refer servicing to
qualified personnel if:
— the power supply cord or plug is damaged or worn
— liquid has spilled into the telephone
— the telephone has been exposed to rain or water
— the telephone has been dropped or damaged
— the product shows a distinct change in performance
— the telephone does not function correctly under normal
operating conditions
• Avoid using a telephone (except a type without a cord) during an
electrical storm. There is a remote risk of electric shock from lightning.
• Do not use the telephone to report a gas leak in the area of the leak.
