Follow all warnings and instructions marked on or packed with the product.

Never install telephone wiring during a lightning storm.

■

Never install a telephone jack in a wet location unless the jack is 
specifically designed for wet locations.

Never touch uninsulated telephone wires or terminals unless the telephone

■

Use caution when installing or modifying telephone lines.

The MERLIN LEGEND Communications System is equipped with a 3-wire 
grounding-type plug with a third (grounding) pin. This plug will fit only into a 
grounding-type power outlet. This is a safety feature. If you are unable to 
insert the plug into the outlet, contact an electrician to replace the obsolete 
outlet. Do not defeat the safety purpose of the grounding plug.
