automatically whenever the handset is
synchronized with the telephone base.

surges harmful to electronic equipment. For your
own safety, take caution when using electrical
appliances during storms.
Cleaning your telephone
Your telephone has a durable plastic casing that
should retain its luster for many years. Clean it
only with a dry non-abrasive cloth. Do not use
dampened cloth or cleaning solvents of any kind.

removing parts of the telephone base or
handset other than specified access doors
may expose you to dangerous voltages
or other risks. Incorrect reassembling can

a remote risk of electric shock from lightning.
15. Do not use the telephone to report a gas
leak in the vicinity of the leak. Under certain
circumstances, a spark may be created
when the adapter is plugged into the power
outlet, or when the handset is replaced in its
cradle. This is a common event associated
with the closing of any electrical 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.
16. Only put the handset of your telephone next
to your ear when it is in normal talk mode.
17. The power adapters are intended to be
correctly oriented in a vertical or floor mount
position. The prongs are not designed to
hold the plug in place if it is plugged into a
ceiling, under-the-table or cabinet outlet.
18. For pluggable equipment, the socket-outlet
shall be installed near the equipment and
shall be easily accessible.
