with extreme temperature, direct sunlight, or
other electrical devices. Protect your phone from

walked on.
11. Never push objects of any kind into this product
through the slots in the telephone base or handset
because they may touch dangerous voltage
points or create a short circuit. Never spill liquid of
any kind on the product.
12. To reduce the risk of electric shock, do not
disassemble this product, but take it to an
authorized service facility. Opening or removing
parts of the telephone base or handset other
than specified access doors may expose you
to dangerous voltages or other risks. Incorrect

circuit. The user should not plug the phone into
a power outlet, and should not put a charged
handset into the cradle, if the phone is located
in an environment containing concentrations of
flammable or flame-supporting gases, unless
there is adequate ventilation. A spark in such an
environment could create a fire or explosion.
Such environments might include: medical use of
oxygen without adequate ventilation; industrial
gases (cleaning solvents; gasoline vapors; etc.); a
leak of natural gas; etc.
