General Product Care
To keep your telephone in good working order, follow these guidelines:
•  Avoid putting the phone near heating appliances and devices that generate 
electrical noise (for example, motors or fluorescent lighting).
•  DO NOT expose to direct sunlight or moisture.
•  Avoid dropping and other rough treatment.
•  Clean 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.
