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 your base unit near
a sink, bathtub or shower.
Electrical storms
Electrical storms can sometimes cause power surges harmful to electronic
equipment.
For your own safety, use 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 used when
you are wet or standing in water. If your base unit 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.
Maintenance
Common cure for electronic equipment
If the unit does not seem to be responding normally, then try putting the handset in its
base. If it does not seem to respond, do the following (in the order listed):
1. Disconnect the power to the base.
2. Disconnect the handset battery, and spare battery, if applicable.
3. Wait a few minutes.
4. Connect power to the base.
5. Re-install the battery(ies).
6. Wait for the handset to re-establish its link with the base. To be safe, allow up to
one minute for this to take place.

• Using the base volume control, raise the volume to a comfortable listening level.
CL is flashing in the base Message Window Display:
• You need to set the day and time. Refer to the section(s) on setting day and
time in this user’s manual
• Make sure Announce Only feature is set to OFF.
If the system does not respond to commands from a remote touch tone phone:
• Make sure you are calling from a touch tone phone. When you dial a
number, you should hear tones. If you hear clicks instead, the phone is not
a touch tone telephone.
The answering system may not delect the Remote Access Code while your
announcement is playing. Try waiting until the announcement is over be-
fore entering the code.
• Make sure you enter your Remote Access Code correctly.
