Maintenance
Taking care of your telephone
• Your cordless telephone contains sophisticated electronic parts, so you 
must treat it with care.
• Avoid rough treatment. 
• Place the handset down gently. 
• Save the original packing materials to protect your telephone if you ever 
need to ship it.
Avoid water
• You can damage your telephone if it gets wet. Do not use the handset in 
the rain, or handle it with wet hands. Do not install the telephone base 
near a sink, bathtub or shower.
Electrical storms
• Electrical storms can sometimes cause power surges harmful to electronic 
equipment. For your own safety, take caution when using electric 
appliances during storms.
Cleaning your telephone
• Your telephone has a durable plastic casing that should retain its luster for 
many years. Clean it only with a soft cloth slightly dampened with water or 
a mild soap.
• Do not use excess water or cleaning solvents of any kind.
Remember that electrical appliances can cause serious injury if you use it when wet or standing in 
water. If the telephone base should fall into water, DO NOT RETRIEVE IT UNTIL YOU UNPLUG THE 
POWER CORD AND TELEPHONE LINE CORDS FROM THE WALL. Then pull the telephone out by the 
unplugged cords.
