liquid:
1. Switch the handset off and remove
the batteries immediately.
2. Allow the liquid to drain from the hand-

with the battery compartment open
and the keypad facing down in a dry,
warm place for at least 72 hours (not

When it has fully dried out, you will nor-
mally be able to use it again.
