N’utilisez pas de nettoyeurs liquides ni en aérosol.
Appendix For C-UL compliance only 14. Évitez d’utiliser un téléphone (autre qu’un sans fil) pendant un orage. Les éclairs peuvent être à l’origine d’une électrocution. 15. N’utilisez pas le téléphone pour rapporter une fuite de gaz à proximité de la fuite. En certaines circonstances, une flammèche pourrait être provoquée lorsque l’adaptateur est branché à une prise de courant, ou lorsque le combiné est déposé sur le socle. Ceci est un événement commun associé à la fermeture d’un circuit électrique.
Appendix For C-UL compliance only À propos des téléphones sans fil • Confidentialité : Les mêmes caractéristiques qui constituent des avantages pour les téléphones sans fil affichent également des restrictions. Les appels téléphoniques sont transmis entre le combiné sans fil et le socle par le biais d’ondes radio ; il y a donc la possibilité que vos conversations téléphoniques sans fil soient interceptées par des équipements de réception radio se trouvant dans la portée du combiné sans fil.
