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.
IMPORTANT: Do not connect either of the Phone ports
to a telephone wall jack. Make sure you only connect a
telephone or fax machine to either of the Phone ports.
Otherwise, the Phone Adapter or the telephone wiring
in your home or office may be damaged.
