CARE OF YOUR HANDSET
• Avoid dropping the handset or knocking it against hard surfaces. Carrying the
handset in a holster or carrying case will help protect it.
• There are no serviceable parts in the handset or chargers. You should not
open the handset case or disassemble the chargers. Doing so will void your
warranty.
• Turn off the handset and unplug chargers before you clean them. Take care
not to exert undue pressure on charger electrical contacts while wiping.
• 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 or diluted bleach may be used. A
spray cleaner may be used with care. Do not spray at an angle. Do not allow
liquid cleaners to seep into keypad. Be sure to wipe away any detergent res-
idue with a clean water-dampened cloth. Do not immerse.
• Should the headset connector become dirty, you may experience a scratchy
or intermittent signal. To clean the connector, dip the non-padded end of a
wooden or paper cotton swab stick in isopropyl alcohol. Gently insert in the
connector and twist, repeating several times. If available, blow compressed
air into the connector to clear debris.
• Keep the headset jack covered when it is not in use.
• Using a carrying case may help protect the surfaces and help prevent liquids
(e.g., rain) from entering into the interior of the handset.
• If your handset interior gets wet, do not try to accelerate drying with the use
of an oven or a dryer as this will damage the handset and void the warranty.
Instead, do the following:
1. Immediately power off the handset.
2. Remove the Battery Pack from the handset.
3. Shake excess liquid from the handset.
4. Place the handset and Battery Pack in an upright position in an area that is at
room temperature and has good airflow.
5. Let the handset and Battery Pack dry for 72 hours before reconnecting the Bat-
tery Pack and/or powering on the handset.
If the handset does not work after following the steps listed above, contact your
phone system administrator for servicing information.
