vary with the locations of the telephone base and handset, the weather, and 
the layout of your home or office.

it does ring, the call might not connect well when you press  /FLASH. 
Move closer to the telephone base, then press  /FLASH to answer 
the call.

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 electrical 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.

if used when you are wet or standing in the water. If the telephone base 
should fall into the water, DO NOT RETRIEVE IT UNTIL YOU UNPLUG THE 
POWER CORD AND TELEPHONE LINE CORD FROM THE WALL. Then 
remove the telephone by the unplugged cords.
