IMPORTANT: The Phone
Adapter includes a ringer (ring
signal generator), which is a
source of hazardous voltage.
When the ringer is activated by
an incoming call, do not touch
the Phone port wires, the wires
of a cable connected to either
of the Phone ports, or the
internal circuitry of the Phone
Adapter.

either of the Phone ports to a

wiring in your home or office
may be damaged.
