Maintenance
Taking care of your telephone
•  Your cordless telephone contains sophisticated electronic 
parts, so it must be treated 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
•  Your telephone can be damaged if it gets wet. Do not use the 
handset outdoors 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.

are 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 unit out by the unplugged cords.
