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.

Causes of Poor Reception

• Aluminum siding.
• Foil backing on insulation.
• Heating ducts and other metal construction that can shield radio

signals.

• You’re too close to appliances such as microwaves, stoves, computers,

etc.

• Atmospheric conditions, such as strong storms.
• Base is installed in the basement or lower floor of the house.
• Base is plugged into AC outlet with other electronic devices.
• Baby monitor is using the same frequency.
• Handset battery is low.
• You’re out of range of the base.
