CARE AND MAINTENANCE

Your RadioShack ET-553/ET-554 25-Channel Cordless Telephone with 10-Number Memory is an example of superior design and craftsmanship. The following sugges- tions will help you care for your cordless telephone so you can enjoy it for years.

Keep the telephone dry. If it gets wet, wipe it dry immediately. Liquids might contain minerals that can corrode the electronic circuits.

Handle the telephone gently and carefully. Dropping it can damage cir- cuit boards and cases and can cause the telephone to work improperly.

Use and store the telephone only in normal temperature environments. Temperature extremes can shorten the life of electronic devices, dam- age batteries, and distort or melt plastic parts.

Keep the telephone away from dust and dirt, which can cause prema- ture wear of parts.

Wipe the telephone with a damp cloth occasionally to keep it looking new. Do not use harsh chemicals, cleaning solvents, or strong deter- gents to clean the telephone.

Modifying or tampering with the telephone’s internal components can cause a mal- function and might invalidate your telephone’s warranty and void your FCC authoriza- tion to operate it. If your phone is not performing as it should, take it to your local RadioShack store for assistance. If the trouble is affecting the phone lines, the phone company might ask you to disconnect your phone until you have resolved the problem.
