Maintenance
Taking care of your telephone
Your 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 outdoors 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 electrical 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.
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 UNTIL YOU UNPLUG THE POWER CORD AND
TELEPHONE LINE CORD FROM THE WALL. Then remove
the telephone by the unplugged cords.
