cells.

battery compartment of the handset).
•Do not touch the charger and plug contacts with sharp or metal objects.
•The operation of some medical devices may be affected.
•The handset may cause an unpleasant buzzing sound in hearing aids.

water source. Keep water away from the handset.
•Do not use the telephone in environments where there is a risk of explosions.
•Dispose of the batteries and maintain the telephone in an environment-friendly manner.
•As this telephone cannot be used in case of a power cut, you should use a mains-independent
telephone for emergency calls, e.g. a mobile phone.
Cleaning
Clean the telephone with a slightly damp cloth or with an anti-static cloth. Never use cleaning
agents or abrasive solvents.
