CARE AND MAINTENANCE
Your PhoneMate PM5800 telephone has been designed to give years of trouble-free
service. It is a sensitive electronic instrument. To assure its longevity, please read the
following maintenance instructions.
1.) Keep the PM5800 away from heat as high temperatures can shorten the life of the
electrical components and distort or melt its plastic parts.
2.) The PM5800 should be kept free of dust and moisture. If it gets wet, wipe it dry
immediately. Liquids can contain mineral that can corrode electronic circuits.
3.) Handle your PM5800 gently and carefully. Dropping it can cause serious damage
to circuitry, or the plastic case, which may result in malfunction.
4.) Do not use any type of chemical or any abrasive powder to clean the cabinet. Use
only mild detergents on a soft damp cloth to clean the PM5800 telephone.
5.) The PM5800 has built-in surge protection circuits that meet or exceed FCC
requirements. However, an incident such as a lightning strike at or near the
telephone lines, could cause serious damage.
6.) If the PM5800 is installed in an area with frequent or severe electrical storms, it is
suggested that the telephone be disconnected during these storms or that
additional surge suppression equipment be added to the installation.
7.) In the case of trouble with the telephone, do not attempt to repair the telephone
yourself. It is the responsibility of users requiring service to report the need for
service to our Service Department. They will make the necessary arrangements
for repair or replacement.
