Maintenance
Taking care of your telephone
Your cordless telephone contains sophisticated electronic parts, so it must be treated 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
Your telephone can be damaged if it gets wet. Do not use the handset outdoors 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
electrical 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.
About cordless telephones
Privacy:
The same features that make a cordless telephone convenient create some limitations. Telephone calls are transmitted
between the telephone base and the cordless handset by radio waves, so there is a possibility that the cordless telephone
conversations could be intercepted by radio receiving equipment within range of the cordless handset. For this reason, you should
not think of cordless telephone conversations as being as private as those on corded telephones.
Electrical power:
The telephone base of this cordless telephone must be connected to a working electrical outlet. The electrical
outlet should not be controlled by a wall switch. Calls cannot be made from the cordless handset if the telephone base is
unplugged, switched off or if the electrical power is interrupted.
Potential TV interference:
Some cordless telephones operate at frequencies that may cause interference to televisions and
VCRs. To minimize or prevent such interference, do not place the telephone base of the cordless telephone near or on top of
a TV or VCR. If interference is experienced, moving the cordless telephone farther away from the TV or VCR often reduces or
eliminates the interference.
Rechargeable batteries:
Exercise care in handling batteries in order not to create a short circuit with conducting material such as
rings, bracelets and keys. The battery or conductor may overheat and cause harm. Observe proper polarity between the battery
and the battery charger.
Nickel-metal hydride rechargeable batteries:
Dispose of these batteries in a safe manner. Do not burn or puncture the battery.
Like other batteries of this type, if burned or punctured, they could release caustic material which could cause injury.
