Cleaning

•Use only the approved rechargeable batteries supplied. Spare rechargeable batteries are available from the BT Elements Helpline on 0870 605 8047.

•Do not open the handset (except to replace the handset batteries) or the base. This could expose you to high voltages or other risks. Contact the Helpline on 0870 605 8047 for all repairs.

•If the keylock is switched on, it is NOT possible to make calls, including to the emergency numbers (999/112).

•Your product may interfere with other electrical equipment, e.g. TV and radio sets, clock/alarms and computers if placed too close. It is recommended that you place your product at least one metre away from such appliances to minimise any risk of interference.

•Clean the handset and base (or charger) with a damp (not wet) cloth, or an anti-static wipe. Never use household polish as this will damage the product. Never use a dry cloth as this may cause a static shock.
