To keep your unit working and looking good, follow these guidelines:
•
Avoid dropping the handset, as well as other rough treatment to the phone.
•
Clean the phone with a soft cloth.
•
Never use strong cleaning agents, paint thinner, abrasive powder, alcohol, or
other chemical products to clean the unit. Doing so will damage the finish.
•
Retain the original packaging in case you need to ship the phone at a later date.
•
Periodically clean the charge contacts on the handset and base with a clean
pencil eraser.
