Maintenance
Taking care of your telephone
Your corded telephone contains sophisticated electronic parts, so you must
treat it with care.
Avoid rough treatment.
Place the handset down gently.
Save the original packing materials to protect your telephone if you ever
need to ship it.
Avoid water
The telephone can be damaged if it gets wet. Do not use the handset in the
rain, or handle it with wet hands. Do not install the telephone base near a
sink, bathtub or shower.
Electrical storms
Electrical storms can sometimes cause power surges harmful to electronic
equipment. For your own safety, take caution when using electric
appliances during storms.
Cleaning your telephone
Your telephone has a durable plastic casing that should retain its luster for
many years. Clean it only with a soft cloth slightly dampened with water or
mild soap.
Do not use excess water or cleaning solvents of any kind.
Remember that electrical appliances can cause serious injury if used when you are wet or
standing in water. If the telephone base should fall into water, DO NOT RETRIEVE IT UNTIL
YOU UNPLUG THE POWER CORD AND TELEPHONE LINE CORDS FROM THE WALL. Pull the
unit out by the unplugged cords.
