3. Maintenance

3.1 Cleaning

Wipe the phone and base units with a soft, damp cloth. Do not use abrasive cleaners or solvents.

3.3 Storage

If storing the phone for an extended period, remove the batteries from the handsets.

  • Verify that your telephone service is active.
• Cannot make or receive calls:
  • Check the battery level of the handset. Place it on the charging base if low.
  • Ensure the handset is within range of the base unit.
  • Temporarily disconnect the base unit's power adapter and telephone line cord, wait a few minutes, then reconnect them.
