operation of the room monitor before use. For example, test its sensitivity. Check the connection if you are diverting the room monitor to an external number.

u When the function is switched on,

the handset's operating time is considerably reduced. If necessary, place the handset in the charging cradle. This ensures that the batteries do not run down.

The appropriate disposal

Care

¤ Wipe the charging cradle and the hand-

set with a damp cloth (do not use solvent) or an antistatic cloth.

Never use a dry cloth as this can cause static.

Contact with liquid

If the handset should come into contact with liquid:

1. Switch the handset off and remove

the batteries immediately.

2. Allow the liquid to drain from the handset.

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 microwave, oven etc.).

4. Do not switch on the handset again until it is completely dry.

When it has fully dried out, you will usually be able to use it again.

In rare cases, contact with chemicals may lead to changes in the surface of the phone. Due to the large number of chemicals available on the market, it has not been possible to test all substances.
