Caring for your telephone

Wipe the charger and handset with a damp
cloth (do not use solvent or a microfiber
cloth) or an antistatic cloth.
Never use a dry cloth as this can cause static.

Contact with liquid

If the handset should come into contact with
liquid:
1. Switch the handset off and remove the
battery immediately.
2. Allow the liquid to drain from the hand-
set.
3. Pat all parts dry, then place the handset
with the battery compartment open and
the keypad facing down in a dry, warm
place for at least 72 hours (not in a mi-
crowave oven, convection oven, etc.).
4. Do not switch on the handset again un-
til it is completely dry.
When it has fully dried out, you will usually
be able to use it again.
