AT&T SL82208 Cordless Telephone User Manual

Appendix
This cordless telephone operates with the maximum power allowed by the
Federal Communications Commission (FCC). Even so, this handset and telephone
base can communicate over only a certain distance — which can vary with the
locations of the telephone base and handset, the weather, and the layout of
your home or office. When the handset is out of range, the handset will display
CONNECTING... The user cannot access any handset settings.
If there is a call while the handset is out of range, it might not ring, or if it does
ring, the call might not connect well when you press PHONE/FLASH. Move
closer to the telephone base, then press PHONE/FLASH to answer the call. If
the handset moves out of range during a telephone conversation, there might
be interference.
To improve reception, move closer to the telephone base.

Taking care of your telephone
Your cordless telephone contains sophisticated electronic parts, so it must be
treated with care.
Avoid rough treatment.
Place the handset down gently. Save the original packing materials to protect
your telephone if you ever need to ship it.
Avoid water
Your telephone can be damaged if it gets wet. Do not use the handset out-
doors in the rain, or handle it with wet hands. Do not install the telephone
base near a sink, bathtub or shower.
Electrical storms
Electrical storms can sometimes cause power surges harmful to electronic
equipment. For your own safety, take caution when using electric appliances
during storms.
Cleaning your telephone
Your telephone has a durable plastic casing that should retain its luster for
many years. Clean it only with a soft cloth slightly dampened with water or
a mild soap.
Do not use excess water or cleaning solvents of any kind.
Maintenance
Remember that electrical appliances can cause serious injury if used when you are wet or
standing in water. If the telephone base should fall into water, DO NOT RETRIEVE IT UNTIL YOU
UNPLUG THE POWER CORD AND TELEPHONE LINE CORDS FROM THE WALL. Then pull the unit
out by the unplugged cords.
