General Product Care

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

Avoid putting the phone near heating appliances and devices that generate electrical noise (for example, motors or fluorescent lamps).

DO NOT expose to direct sunlight or moisture.

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.
