Just a short note here. I constantly talk on the phone while lazing in
my hot tub. The phone is NOT cordless. So am I putting myself at risk
talking on the phone while in the hot tub? Thanks...Jim


Very bad idea. Ringdown voltage is near or exceeding wall outlet
voltage. Granted, current capability is lower, but it's
enough.... and the the human body's resistance while soaking in water
is quite low.

Cordless phones are cheap. You need one if you wanna chat in the
bath.
