2 Cleaning instructions
2.1
Basic handset cleaning
The following cleaning instructions apply to all handset models. Please note that IP40 rated handsets are not
waterproof, and exposing the handset to liquids may result in permanently damaging the unit.
1. Before cleaning the device, your hands should be cleaned
2. It is recommended to power-off the handset
3. Wipe the handset with a dry cloth or one moistened with a mild soap solution
4. Do not exert undue pressure or rub the DECT handset roughly when cleaning the DECT handset
5. In case additional cleaning is required, use a mild detergent, e.g. household glass and surface cleaner,
on a soft cloth or cotton swab and gently wipe the soiled spots
2.2
Cleaning with disinfectant liquids
In a care and cure environment handsets need to be cleaned at regular intervals with disinfectant cleaning
liquids. NEC recommends to use handsets with an IP65 rating which are cleanable and can withstand a range
of cleaning agents.
Note; always follow the guidelines of your healthcare institute regarding the frequency of cleaning and
cleaning method, for which NEC cannot take any responsibility
1. In general Isopropyl alcohol or Ethanol may be used, applied by a soft cloth
2. The DECT handset may be cleaned occasionally with disinfection solutions or cleaning wipes used for
general cleaning purposes in medical environments. Again apply the disinfectant on a soft cloth and
then gently wipe the DECT handset. IP65 model handsets can be cleaned on a daily basis
3. Avoid cleaning and disinfection solutions containing skin moisturizing or corrosive components
4. When applying alcohol or disinfectants, do not rub the keys vigorously, as this may damage the keys
(and void your warranty)
