Maintenance

Your cordless telephone contains sophisticated electronic parts and must
be treated with care.
Place the handset down gently. Save the original packing materials to
protect your telephone if you ever need to ship it.
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 can sometimes cause power surges harmful to electronic
equipment. For your own safety, take caution when using electrical
appliances during storms.
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 standing in the water. If the telephone base should fall into
the water, DO NOT RETRIEVE IT UNTIL YOU UNPLUG THE POWER CORD
AND TELEPHONE LINE CORD FROM THE WALL. Then pull the unit out by
the unplugged cords.
