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
a 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 stand-
ing in water. If the telephone base should fall into water, DO NOT RETRIEVE IT UNTIL YOU UN-
PLUG THE POWER CORD AND TELEPHONE LINE CORDS FROM THE WALL. Then pull the telephone
out by the unplugged cords.
