  This instrument can be hazardous if immersed 
in  water.  To  avoid  the  possibility  of 
electrical shock, do  not  use  the telephone 
equipment while  you  are in the  bathtub 
or shower, or  when you are  wet.  If you 
accidentally drop the equipment into water, 
do  not  retrieve  it  until  you  have  first 
unplugged all cords. Do not reconnect  the 
telephone  equipment  until  it  has  dried

  Avoid using the telephone equipment during 
electrical storms in  your  immediate  area. 
There  is  a  remote  risk  of  electric  shock 
from lightning. Urgent calls should be brief. 
Even though protective measures may have 
been  installed  to  limit  electrical  surges 
from entering your home or business, absolute 
protection from lightning is impossible.
  If  you  suspect  a natural gas  leak,  report 
it immediately, but use  a telephone  away 
from  the  area in  question. The telephone 
equipment's electrical contacts could generate 
a tiny spark. While unlikely, it is possible that 
this spark could ignite heavy concentrations 
of gas.
