Liquid Damage
Moisture and liquid can damage your cordless
phone. Follow the suggestions below if your
phone gets wet.
Exterior
If the handset or base is exposed to moisture or
liquid, but only the exterior plastic housing is
affected, wipe off the liquid, and use as normal.
Interior
If moisture or liquid has entered the plastic
housing (i.e. liquid can be heard in the phone or
liquid has entered the handset battery
compartment or vent openings on the base):
Handset:
1. Remove the battery cover and leave it off for
ventilation.
2. Disconnect the battery pack. Leave the
battery cover off and the battery pack
disconnected for at least 3 days.
3. Once the handset is completely dry,
reconnect the battery pack and the battery
cover.
4. Recharge the handset's battery pack for 15 to
20 hours before using.
IMPORTANT
: You must unplug the telephone line
while recharging the battery packs to avoid charge
interruption.
Base:
1. Disconnect the AC adapter from the base,
shutting off electrical power.
2. Disconnect the telephone cord from the base.
3. Let dry for at least 3 days.
CAUTION
:
DO NOT
use a microwave oven to
speed up the drying process. This will cause
permanent damage to the handset, base and the
microwave oven. After following these steps, if
your cordless telephone does not work, please
call our Customer Service Hotline. See back cover
page for contact information.
