General product care
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 dry non-abrasive cloth.
Do not use dampened cloth or cleaning
solvents of any kind.
