SPP-A5000 Cordless Telephone with Answering System (430-8005) Precautions Faxback Doc. # 19867 ON POWER SOURCE Before initial use, insert the battery pack into the base unit and charge it for 10 hours. Operate the base unit only on 9V DC. Use the AC power adapter supplied with the unit. Do not use any other AC power adapters as they may cause malfunction. Connect the base unit to an AC outlet which has a continuous power supply. Avoid outlets where power may be cut off. Store the battery pack at a temperature between 5 (degrees) C (41 [degrees] F) and 35 (degrees) C (95 [degrees] F) for best performance. ON INSTALLATION Do not expose the base unit to: heat sources such as radiators or air ducts. extremely low temperatures. direct sunlight. excessive dust. moisture or rain. mechanical vibration or shock. Do not place the base unit on a sloping surface. ON MAINTENANCE Cleaning the cabinets Clean the cabinets with a soft cloth slightly moistened with water or a mild detergent solution. Do not use any type of abrasive pad, scouring powder or solvent such as alcohol or benzene as they may damage the finish of the cabinet. Cleaning the battery terminals If the terminals (metal parts on the battery pack) are soiled, the battery life will become shorter. When this occurs, repeatedly attach and remove the battery from the battery compartment. This will improve the contact of the battery pack and the battery compartment of the cordless handset or the base unit. Also, wipe the terminals with a soft cloth or paper. ON POWER FAILURE During a power interruption, the base unit does not operate, and a phone conversation cannot be made on the cordless handset. If backup batteries are not installed or the batteries are dead, then the "P" indicator will flash in the message counter as soon as power is restored following a power interruption, This means that the greeting message, any recorded messages, and the current day and time have all been cleared. In this case set and record all these again. (EB 2/9/96)
