Taking Care of the Hi-Phone Desktop
•
The Hi-Phone Desktop unit contains sophisticated electronic parts,
so it must be treated with care. Do not attempt to open the unit up.

never allow metal object such as paperclips or thumb tacks to fall
into the unit. If that should happen, immediately unplug the unit and
contact Way2call.

care.
Avoid Water

Desktop unit out of the water.
Avoid Extreme Temperatures

Make sure that the Hi-Phone Desktop unit is not exposed to either
severely hot or cold temperatures.
