ear while pressing the keys.

a humid, dusty or hot area.
Keep metallic items that may accidentally touch
the terminals away from the equipment.
Extreme temperatures may have a temporary
effect on the operation of your telephone. This
is normal and does not indicate a fault.

ventilated area, not in direct sunlight, between
+5°C and +35°C. It is not possible to recharge
the battery pack if it is outside this temperature
range.
Do not disassemble the equipment. There are
no user-serviceable parts.

vibration or shock.
Avoid recharging battery packs for longer than
recommended.
Avoid contact with liquids. If the equipment
becomes wet immediately remove the power

Do not incinerate or dispose of the battery
packs as ordinary rubbish. The battery packs
must be disposed of in accordance with local
legislation and may be recycled.
The equipment may be cleaned with a soft
cloth dampened with a mild detergent and
water. Petroleum based cleaners may damage
