General Product Care
To keep your unit working and looking good, follow these
guidelines:
• Avoid dropping the handset, as well as other rough treatment to
the phone.
• Clean the phone with a soft cloth.
• Never use strong cleaning agents, paint thinner, abrasive
powder, alcohol, or other chemical products to clean the unit.
Doing so will damage the finish.
• Retain the original packaging in case you need to ship the
phone at a later date.
• Periodically clean the charge contacts on the handset and
base with a clean pencil eraser.
