General Product Care
To keep your unit working and looking good, follow these guidelines:
•
Avoid dropping the handset, as well as other rough treatment to the phone.
•
Clean the phone with a soft cloth.
•
Never use strong cleaning agents, paint thinner, abrasive powder, alcohol, or other
chemical products to clean the unit. Doing so will damage the finish.

Retain the original packaging in case you need to ship the phone at a later date.

Periodically clean the charge contacts on the handset and base with a clean pencil
eraser.
