Care of the weather phone
* Do not clean any part of your weather phone with benzene, thinner or other sol-
vent chemicals - this may cause permanent damage that is not covered by the
guarantee. When necessary, clean it with a damp cloth.
* Keep your weather phone away from hot, humid conditions or strong sunlight.
* Every effort has been made to ensure the highest standards of reliability for your
weather phone. However, if something does go wrong, please do not try to repair
it yourself- consult your supplier.
* Do not use your weather phone outdoors in the rain, or handle it with wet hands-
water can damage electrical equipment.
Unpackingyourweatherhandset
When you unpack your weather phone, make sure you keep all the packing mate-
rials in a safe place, in case you later need to transport it or return it for servicing.
In the box, you will find:
* The weather cordless handset
* Two rechargeable batteries for the handset
* The standalone charger
* A power lead with AC adapter
1.2 Installation
Choosing a site for the charger
The charger should be installed where:
* the mains adapter plug will reach a 240VAC switched mains supply socket -
NEVER try to lengthen the mains power cable.
* it is not close to a sink, bath or shower, or anywhere else where it might get wet.
* it is not close to other electrical equipment - keep it away from fridges, washing
machines, microwave ovens, TVs and fluorescent lights, etc.

sliding it in the direction shown by the arrow.
