General Product Care; Troubleshooting Tips - GE 29871 User Manual

NOTE: After the answering system plays the remote menu, it will wait
10 seconds for a command. If a command is not entered, the unit
disconnects. The unit only allows two attempts at accessing the security
code. If the second attempt is incorrect, the unit will end the call.

General Product Care

To keep your answering system working and looking good, follow these guidelines:
• Avoid putting it near heating appliances and devices that generate electrical noise (for
example, motors or fluorescent lamps).
• DO NOT expose to direct sunlight or moisture.
• Avoid dropping answering system and/or other rough treatment.
• Clean with a soft cloth.
• Never use a strong cleaning agent or abrasive powder because this will damage the finish.
• Retain the original packaging in case you need to ship it at a later date.
