IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

When using your telephone equipment, basic safety precautions should
always be followed to reduce the risk of fire, electric shock and injury
to persons, including the following:

1.  Read and understand all instructions.

2.  Follow all warnings and instructions marked on the product.

3.  Unplug this product from the wall outlet before cleaning.  Do not use
    liquid cleaners or aerosol cleaners.  Use a damp cloth for cleaning.

4.  Do not use this product near water, for example, near a bath tub, wash
    bowl, kitchen sink, or laundry tub, in a wet basement, or near a
    swimming pool.

5.  Do not place this product on an unstable cart, stand, or table.  The
    product may fall, causing serious damage to the product.

6.  Slots and openings in the cabinet and the back or bottom are provided
    for ventilation, to protect it from overheating.  These openings must
    not be blocked or covered.  The openings should never be blocked by
    placing the product on the bed, sofa, rug or other similar surface.
    This product should never be placed near or over a radiator or heat
    register. This product should not be placed in a built-in installation
    unless proper ventilation is provided.

7.  This product should be operated only from the type of power source
    indicated on the appliance.  If you are not sure of the type of power
    supply to your home, consult your dealer or local power company.

8.  Do not allow anything to rest on the power cord.  Do not locate this
    product where the cord will be abused by persons walking on it.

9.  Do not overload wall outlets and extension cords as this can result in
    the risk of fire or electric shock.

10. Never push objects of any kind into this product through cabinet slots
    as they may touch dangerous voltage points or short out parts that
    could result in a risk of fire or electric shock.  Never spill liquid
    of any kind on the product.

11. To reduce the risk of electric shock, do not disassemble this product,
    but take it to a qualified serviceman when some service or repair work
    is required.  Opening or removing covers may expose you to dangerous
    voltages or other risks. Incorrect reassembly can cause electric shock
    when the appliance is subsequently used.

12. Unplug this product from the wall outlet and refer servicing to
    qualified service personnel under the following conditions:

    A. When the power supply cord or plug is damaged or frayed.

    B. If liquid has been spilled into the product.

    C. If the product has been exposed to rain or water.

    D. If the product does not operate normally by following the operating
       instructions.  Adjust only those controls that are covered by the
       operating instructions, because improper adjustment of other
       controls may result in damage and will often require extensive work
       by a qualified technician to restore the product to normal
       operation.

    E. If the product has been dropped or the cabinet has been damaged.

    F. If the product exhibits a distinct change in performance.

13. Avoid using the product during an electrical storm.  There may be a
    remote risk of electric shock from lightning.

14. Do not use the telephone to report a gas leak in the vicinity of the
    leak.
