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.

Clean the phone with a soft cloth.

Never use a strong cleaning agent or abrasive powder because this will damage the finish.

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.
