packing materials to protect your telephone if you ever

need to ship it.

Avoid water

Your telephone 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 telephone base 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 telephone

Your telephone has a durable plastic casing that should

retain its luster for many years. Clean it only with a

dry non-abrasive cloth. Do not use dampened cloth or

cleaning solvents of any kind.

does not help, the wall jack

(or the wiring to this wall jack)

may be defective. Contact your

telephone service provider.
