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

later date.

clean pencil eraser.
