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.

•

Remember that electrical appliances can cause serious injury if used when you
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.

conversations could be intercepted by radio receiving equip­ment within range of the cordless handset. For this reason,

you should not think of cordless telephone conversations
as being as private as those on corded telephones.

Electrical power: The telephone base of this cordless tele-

•

phone must be connected to a working electrical outlet which
is not controlled by a wall switch. Calls cannot be made from

the handset if the telephone base is unplugged, switched
off, or if the electrical power is interrupted.

Potential TV interference: Some cordless telephones operate

•

at frequencies that may cause interference to TVs and VCRs.
To minimize or prevent such interference, do not place the
telephone base of the cordless telephone near or on top of a
TV or VCR. If interference is experienced, moving the cordless
telephone farther away from the TV or VCR will often reduce
or eliminate the interference.

cadmium or nickel-metal hydride rechargeable batteries. Exer­cise care in handling batteries in order not to create a short
circuit with conductive material such as rings, bracelets, and
keys. The battery or conductor may overheat and cause harm.
Observe proper polarity between the battery and the battery
charger.

• Nickel-metal-hydride rechargeable batteries: Dispose of

these batteries in a safe manner. Do not burn or puncture.
