Appendix B: Cleaning and Drying the 
Handset 
The SpectraLink 6020 Series Wireless Handsets have been tested for resistance to cleaning 
chemicals per IEC 60068-2-74 (1999). Exposure of the 6020 handsets to Lysol® or diluted 
bleach poses little risk of functional or cosmetic damage. 
• Avoid dropping the handset or knocking it against hard surfaces. Carry the handset in a
holster or carrying case to protect it.
• There are no serviceable parts in the handset or chargers. You should not open the handset
case nor disassemble the chargers. Doing so will void your warranty.
• Turn off the handset and unplug the chargers before you clean them. Never immerse the
handset or charger in liquid. Clean the exterior surfaces, including the charging contacts, with 
a cloth that has been slightly moistened with water. Take care not to exert undue pressure 
on charger electrical contacts while wiping. 
• Polycom recommends the use of a silicone cover to prolong the life of your handset,
especially when it is dropped regularly or cleaned frequently with the disinfectants 
prescribed below. 
• Wiping the handset surface with a water-dampened cloth or paper towel will remove most
films or residues. If the soiling is too stubborn for plain water, a mild detergent solution, 
Lysol, isopropyl alcohol, or diluted bleach may be used. 
• Pre-treated cloths and toilettes, like those used for eyeglasses or cameras, may be used to
clean the handset; however, avoid using those containing lanolin or aloe as these will leave a 
slippery residue. 
• When cleaning with disinfectants, do not rub the keypad characters vigorously. Doing so will
degrade the handset’s keys and make them illegible.
• Do not directly spray or immerse the handset in a disinfectant or cleaning agent. Spray the
disinfectant on a soft cloth or paper towel, then wipe the handset's surface to dry it.
