Important Safety Instructions
If applicable, when using telephone equipment, basic safety precautions should always be followed to reduce the risk of fire, electrical
shock, and personal injury, including the following:
•Do not use this product near water – for example, near a bathtub, kitchen sink, laundry tub, or swimming pool, or in a wet basement;
•Avoid using a telephone (other than a cordless type) during an electrical storm, as there may be a remote risk of electrical shock
due to lightning;
•Do not use the telephone to report a gas leak in the vicinity of the leak;
•Use only the power cord and batteries indicated in this manual;
•Do not dispose of batteries in fire, as they may explode – check with local codes for possible special disposal instructions.

Coaxial Cable
If applicable, the coaxial cable screen shield needs to be connected to the Earth at the building entrance per ANSI/NFPA 70, the National Electrical
Code (NEC), in particular Section 820.93, “Grounding of Outer Conductive Shield of a Coaxial Cable,” or in accordance with local regulation.
For Audio/Video Apparatus
This reminder is provided to call the CATV system installer's attention to Section 820.93 of the National Electric Code (NEC), which provides
guidelines for proper grounding and, in particular, specifies that the coaxial cable shield shall be connected to the grounding system of the
building, as close to the point of cable entry as practical.
