MAINTENANCE
Taking Care Of You Telephone
Your VTech VT1970ci 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 pro-
tect 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 your base
unit near a sink, bathtub or shower.
Electrical storms
Electrical storms can sometimes cause
power surges harmful to electronic
equipment.
For your own safety, use caution when
using electric 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
a mild soap. Do not use excess water
or cleaning solvents of any kind.
Remember that electrical appliances
can cause serious injury if used when
you are wet or standing in water. If
your base unit should fall into water,
DO NOT RETRIEVE IT UNTIL YOU
UNPLUG THE POWER CORD AND
TELEPHONE LINE CORDS FROM
THE WALL. Then pull the unit out by
the unplugged cords.
