Maintenance

Taking care of your telephone

Your cordless 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

You can damage your telephone 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.

Appendix

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.
