Cleaning the battery charging contacts
To maintain a good charge, it is important to clean the charging
contacts on both the handset and the
charger once a month. Use a dry cloth
or pencil eraser to clean. If the contacts
become very dirty, use water only, dampen
a cloth to clean the charging contacts.
Then make sure to go back over the charging
contacts with a dry cloth before returning
the handset to the charger to charge.
