Maintenance
Taking care of your unit
Your IS9181 contains sophisticated electronic parts, so it must be treated with care.
Avoid rough treatment
Handle the unit gently. Save the original packing materials to protect your IS9181 if you ever need to ship it.
Avoid water
Your unit can be damaged if it gets wet. Do not use the handset outdoors in the rain, or handle it with wet hands. Do not install the IS9181
near a sink, bathtub or shower.
Electrical storms
Electrical storms can sometimes cause power surges harmful to electronic equipment. For your own safety, take caution when using electrical
appliances during storms.
Cleaning your unit
Your unit has a durable plastic casing that should retain its luster for many years. Clean it only with a soft cloth slightly dampened with water
or a mild soap. Do not use excess water or cleaning solvents of any kind.
Remember that electrical appliances can cause serious injury if used when you are wet or standing in the water. If the unit should fall into the
