7. Never carry the Home Communicator by the cord or yank on the
cord to disconnect the plug from a power outlet. Instead, grasp the
plug and pull to disconnect. Periodically inspect electrical cords and
cables for damage or signs of wear.
Cleaning
Keep the Home Communicator free of dust by wiping it with a soft
cotton cloth. If additional cleaning is required, follow the steps below:
1. Move the power switch on the back of the Home Communicator to
the OFF position and unplug the power cord from the power outlet.
If you have the Landline Communicator, unplug the telephone cord
from the wall jack.
Warning
Always unplug the Communicator from the power outlet before cleaning
to prevent electric shocks.
Note: You cannot call for help while the Home Communicator is off.
Accordingly, you may wish to have a family member or caregiver present
while you are cleaning your Home Communicator.
2. Slightly dampen a soft cloth with a mild soap and water and gently
wipe the surfaces clean. Do not use detergent or abrasive cleaners
on your Home Communicator.
3. Reconnect the power cord to the power outlet. If you have the
Landline Communicator, reconnect the telephone cord to the wall
jack, and then move the power switch on the back of the Home
Communicator to the ON position.
4. Test your system by pressing your Help Button. Tell the Response
Associate that you are just testing your equipment after cleaning it
and no help is needed.
