Take care of your telephone
• Your cordless telephone contains sophisticated electronic parts, so you must treat it
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
• You can damage your telephone if it gets wet. Do not use the handset 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 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.
NOTE
Remember that electrical appliances can cause serious injury if used when you are wet
or standing in water. If the telephone base should fall into water, DO NOT RETRIEVE IT

THE WALL. Then pull the unit out by the unplugged cords.
