Warnings

Do not use your telephone during an electrical storm
thunderstorm as it is possible to get an electric shock. Ref er
to information contained in Telstra White pages directory.

The earpiece of the handset may attract small metal objects
such as staples and pins. Care should be taken when
placing the handset near these items.

Temperature and ambient conditions

The telephone is designed for indoor use (temperature
range of -10 °C to 50 °C). Do not install the telephone in
areas where there is the risk of an explosion, excessive
exposure to smoke, dust, vibrations, chemicals, moisture,
and heat. The unit must not be installed in damp locations
such as a bathroom or laundry, do not expose the unit to
direct sunlight.

Cleaning and care

The surface of the case can be cleaned with a dry, soft,
lint-free cloth. Never use cleaning agents, particularly
aggressive solvents. Apart from occasional cleaning of the
case, no other care is necessary. The rubber feet of the
base station are not resistant to all cleaning agents. The
telephone feet do not normally leave any marks on the
surface. However, on account of the multitude of varnishes
and surface finishes used, surface marks caused by the
feet of the unit cannot be ruled out.
