To keep your telephone working and looking good, follow these guidelines:
•  Avoid putting the phone near heating appliances and devices that generate electrical noise 
(for example, motors or fluorescent lamps).
•  DO NOT expose to direct sunlight or moisture.
•  Avoid dropping the unit and other rough treatment.
•  Clean with a soft cloth. 
•  Never use a strong cleaning agent or abrasive powder because this will damage the finish.

•  Periodically clean the charge contacts on the handset and base with a soft cloth.
