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.
Remember that electrical appliances can cause serious injury if used when
you are wet or standing in the water. If the telephone base should fall
into the water, DO NOT RETRIEVE IT UNTIL YOU UNPLUG THE POWER
CORD AND TELEPHONE LINE CORD FROM THE WALL. Then remove the
telephone by the unplugged cords.
About Cordless Telephones
Privacy: The same features that make a cordless telephone convenient
create some limitations. Telephone calls are transmitted between the
telephone base and the cordless handset by radio waves, so there
is a possibility that the cordless telephone conversations could be
intercepted by radio receiving equipment within range of the cordless
handset. For this reason, you should not think of cordless telephone
conversations as being as private as those on corded telephones.
Electrical power: The telephone base of this cordless telephone must be
connected to a working electrical outlet. The electrical outlet should not
be controlled by a wall switch. Calls cannot be made from the cordless
handset if the telephone base is unplugged or switched off, or if the
electrical power is interrupted.
Potential TV interference: Some cordless telephones operate at
frequencies that may cause interference to televisions and VCRs. To
minimize or prevent such interference, do not place the telephone base
of the cordless telephone near or on top of a TV or VCR. If interference
is experienced, moving the cordless telephone farther away from the TV
or VCR often reduces or eliminates the interference.
Rechargeable batteries: Exercise care in handling batteries in order not
to create a short circuit with conducting material such as rings, bracelets,
and keys. The battery or conductor may overheat and cause harm.
Observe proper polarity between the battery and the battery charger.
Nickel-metal hydride rechargeable batteries: Dispose of these batteries
in a safe manner. Do not burn or puncture the battery. Like other
batteries of this type, if burned or punctured, they could release caustic
material which could cause injury.
