To keep your telephone working and looking good, follow
these guidelines:
• Avoid putting the phone near heating appliances and devices that

generate electrical noise (for example, motors or fluorescent lamps).

• DO NOT expose to direct sunlight or moisture.
• Avoid dropping the handset, as well as other rough treatment to

the phone.

• Clean the phone with a soft cloth.
• Never use a strong cleaning agent or abrasive powder because this 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

eraser.
