Disposal
All electrical and electronic products should be disposed of separately from the municipal waste
stream via designated collection facilities appointed by the government or the local authorities.
The correct disposal and separate collection of your old appliance will help prevent potential nega-
tive consequences for the environment and human health. It is a precondition for reuse and recycling
of used electrical and electronic equipment. For more detailed information about disposal of your
old appliance, please contact your local council refuse centre or the original supplier of the product.

Care

Wipe down the base station and handset with a damp cloth (no solvents) or an antistatic cloth. Never use a dry
cloth. This can cause static.

Contact with liquid

If the handset should come into contact with liquid:
◆
Switch the handset off and remove the batteries immediately.
◆
Allow the liquid to drain from the handset.
◆
Pat all parts dry, then with the battery compartment open and the keypad facing down place the handset in

When it has fully dried out, you will normally be able to use it again.
