Care
¤ Wipe the base station, charging cradle
and handset with a damp cloth (do not
use solvent or a microfiber cloth) or an
antistatic cloth.
¤ Impairments in the high-gloss finish can
be carefully removed using display
polishes for mobile phones.
Never use a dry cloth. This can cause static.
Contact with liquid
If the handset has come into contact with
liquid:
1. Switch off the handset and remove the
battery pack immediately.
2. Allow the liquid to drain from the hand-
set.
3. Pat all parts dry, then place the handset
with the battery compartment open and
the keypad facing down in a dry, warm
place for at least 72 hours (not in a mic-
rowave, oven etc.).
4. Do not switch on the handset again un-
til it is completely dry.
When it has fully dried out, you will normally
be able to use it again.
