Panasonic Kx Vc300 Operating Manual

							Do not attempt to repair the power cord,
plug, or AC adaptor. If the power cord or
plug is damaged or frayed, contact an
authorized service representative for a
replacement.Ensure that the plug connection is free
of dust. In a damp environment, a
contaminated connector can draw a
significant amount of current that can
generate heat, and eventually cause fire
if left unattended over an extended
period of time.Stop operation immediately if the unit
emits smoke, excessive heat, abnormal
smell or unusual noise. These conditions
can cause fire or electric shock.
Immediately turn the unit off, and unplug
the power cord, and contact your dealer
for service.Never touch the plug or AC adaptor with
wet hands. Danger of electric shock
exists.When disconnecting the unit, grasp the
plug instead of the cord. Pulling on a
cord forcibly can damage it, and cause
fire or electric shock.During thunderstorms, do not touch the
unit, plug and AC adaptor. It may cause
an electric shock.

immediately. Contact your dealer for
service. Operating the contaminated unit
can cause fire or electric shock.Do not use a unit in the vicinity of a gas
leak to report the leak.Do not place the remote control in
microwave ovens or on induction
cookware.Clean the AC plug periodically with a
soft, dry cloth to remove dust and other
debris.Do not use the supplied power cord with
any other device. It may cause fire or
electric shock.Unplug the unit from the AC outlet and
have it serviced by qualified service
personnel in the following cases:
a. If the unit does not operate
