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 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 mild soap.
Do not use excess water or cleaning solvents of any kind.

are wet or standing in water. If the telephone base should fall into water, DO
NOT RETRIEVE IT UNTIL YOU UNPLUG THE POWER CORD AND TELEPHONE LINE
