General Product Care

To keep your unit working and looking good, follow these guidelines:

•Avoid dropping the handset, as well as other rough treatment to the phone.

•Wipe the base station with a damp cloth or an antistatic wipe. Never use a dry cloth as this can cause static discharge.

•Retain the original packaging in case you need to ship the phone at a later date.

•Periodically clean the charge contacts on the handset and remote charger with a clean pencil eraser.

Causes of Poor Reception

•Aluminum siding.

•Foil backing on insulation.

•Heating ducts and other metal construction that can shield radio signals.

•You’re too close to appliances such as microwaves, stoves, televisions, entertainment centers, etc.

•Atmospheric conditions, such as strong storms.

•Base is installed in the basement or lower floor of the house.

•Base is plugged into AC outlet with other electronic devices.

•Handset battery is low.
