Mesures de sécurité importantes
Lorsque vous utilisez votre appareil, vous devriez toujours suivre certaines mesures de précaution
de base afin de réduire les risques d’incendie, d’électrocution et de blessures corporelles, dont ceux
qui suivent :
Information relative à la sécurité
Lisez et comprenez bien toutes les instructions.
N’utilisez pas cet appareil près de l’eau ni de toute autre source d’humidité, par exemple,
près d’une baignoire, cuve à lessive, évier de cuisine, dans un sous-sol humide ni près d’une
piscine, dans un soussol humide ou une douche.
Ne déposez pas ce téléphone sur un chariot, support ou table chancelants. L’appareil pourrait
tomber et être sérieusement endommagé.
MISE EN GARDE : N’utilisez que les adaptateurs inclus avec ce produit. L’utilisation d’un
adaptateur dont la polarité ou la tension serait inadéquate risque d’endommager sérieusement
le produit et mettre votre sécurité en péril.
Adaptateur : Entrée 100-240V CA 800 mA 50/60 Hz; Sortie : 12 V CC 2000 mA
Lorsqu’ils sont branchés dans une prise de courant, les adaptateurs secteur ont été conçus
pour être orientés correctement, soit à la verticale ou au plancher. Les broches n’ont pas été
conçues pour supporter le poids du bloc d’alimentation et le maintenir en place si celuici est
branché dans une prise au plafond, sous une table ou dans un meuble.
Pour les PRODUITS À BRANCHER À UNE PRISE DE COURANT, la prise de courant doit
être installée près du produit, afin d’assurer une accessibilité sécuritaire à la prise de courant.
Débranchez ce produit de la prise de courant avant de procéder au nettoyage. N’utilisez pas
de nettoyants en aérosols. Utilisez un chiffon humide pour le nettoyer.
Ne coupez pas les cordons d’alimentation pour remplacer les fiches, car ceci peut présenter
un danger potentiel.
Ne laissez aucun objet reposer ni appuyer sur le cordon d’alimentation. N’installez pas cet
appareil dans un endroit où l’on risque d’écraser le cordon d’alimentation ou de le piétiner.
Ne faites fonctionner cet appareil qu’avec le type d’alimentation indiqué sur l’étiquette. Si vous
ne connaissez pas le type d’alimentation que vous possédez à votre domicile, consultez votre
marchand ou votre compagnie locale d’électricité.
Ne surchargez pas les prises de courant murales ni les rallonges électriques.
Les trous et ouvertures du boîtier, situés à l’arrière de l’appareil ou sous celui-ci, servent
à aérer l’appareil. Pour l’empêcher de surchauffer, ne bloquez sous aucun prétexte ces
ouvertures et n’empêchez pas l’aération adéquate de l’appareil en le plaçant sur un lit, divan,
tapis ou toute autre surface similaire. De même, ne le positionnez pas à proximité ni au-
dessus d’une source de chaleur ou d’un calorifère. De plus, ne placez pas l’appareil dans un
endroit avant de vous assurer qu’il y ait une bonne circulation d’air.
N’enfoncez jamais d’objets à travers les ouvertures de cet appareil, car ils pourraient entrer
en contact avec des points de tension dangereux ou causer des courts-circuits qui peuvent
dégénérer en incendies ou en risques d’électrocution. Ne renversez jamais de liquide dans ce
produit.
Afin de réduire les risques d’électrocution, ne démontez pas cet appareil, mais apportez-le
dans un centre de service autorisé. L’ouverture du boîtier ou le retrait de toutes pièces que
contient cet appareil, à l’exception de l’accès autorisé à certaines portes ou ouvertures, risque
de vous exposer à des points de tension dangereux ou d’autres dangers. Un remontage
incorrect peut par la suite présenter des risques d’électrocution.
Examinez les composantes afin de vérifier si celles-ci ne sont pas endommagées.
