Care
Wipe the base station, charging cradle and
handset with a damp cloth (do not use
solvent) or an antistatic cloth.
Never use a dry cloth. This can cause
static.
Contact with liquid
If the handset has come into contact with
liquid:
1. Switch off the handset and remove
the battery pack immediately.
2. Allow the liquid to drain from the hand-
set.
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 nor-
mally be able to use it again.
