CAUTION: To reduce the risk of fire or injury to persons or damage to
the telephone, read and follow these instructions carefully:
• Use only alkaline 9V batteries (size 1604A, purchased separately).
• Do not dispose of the battery in a fire. Like other batteries of this type,
it could explode if burned. Check with local codes for special disposal
instructions.
• Do not open or mutilate the battery. Released electrolyte is corrosive and may
cause damage to the eyes or skin. It may be toxic if swallowed.
• Exercise care in handling batteries in order not to create a short circuit. Do
not allow conductive materials such as rings, bracelets, or keys to touch the
battery. The battery or conductor may overheat and cause harm.
• Use the battery identified for use with this product only in accordance with
the instructions and limitations specified in this manual.
• Observe proper polarity orientation between the battery and metallic
contacts.
• Do not disassemble your telephone. There are no user-serviceable parts
inside. Refer to qualified service personnel for servicing.
