10.1 Maintenance
The device is maintenance-free. Occasionally check the condition of the batteries and replace them
with new batteries of the same type if performance is impaired or if they are beginning to leak.
Warning: Danger of chemical burns!
Wear protective gloves to remove flat rechargeable batteries.
If the device comes into contact with liquid, remove the batteries immediately and disconnect the
device from the power supply (base station) and dry it out carefully. Check its operation after 2-3 days.
10.2 Cleaning
Warning:
Risk of electric shock or short circuit from contact with components that conduct
electricity. Prevent liquids penetrating the device. If this should occur, unplug the mains
adapter from the power socket and the telephone cable connector from the wall socket and
remove the batteries. Do the same if the device, cable or mains adapter are damaged: avoid
direct contact with liquids and disconnect the device from the 230 V mains immediately.
Clean the telephone with a damp cloth that has been dipped in lukewarm water or an anti-static cloth.
Never use cleaning agents or abrasives.
10.3 Decommissioning, storage
To decommission the device temporarily, disconnect the telephone cable from the wall socket and
from the telephone jack on the base station. Unplug the base station and handset mains adapters from
the 230 V sockets.
Remove the batteries from the handsets. If the telephone is decommissioned for a long time, replace
the rechargeable batteries with new ones of the same type when the phone is recommissioned. Store
the devices and rechargeable batteries in a dry place that is not too warm.
