CARE AND MAINTENANCE Your CT-P8700 telephone has been designed to give years of trouble-free service. It is a sensitive electronic instrument. To assure its longevity, please read the following maintenance instructions. 1.Keep the CT-P8700 away from heat as high temperatures can shorten the life of the electrical components and distort or melt its plastic parts. 2.The CT-P8700 should be kept free of dust and moisture. If it gets wet, wipe it dry immediately. Liquids can contain minerals that can corrode electronic circuits. 3.Handle your CT-P8700 gently and carefully. Dropping it can cause serious damage to circuitry, or the plastic case, which may result in malfunction. 4.Do not use any type of chemical or any abrasive powder to clean the cabinet. Use only mild detergents on a soft, damp cloth to clean the CT-P8700 telephone. 5.The CT-P8700 has built-in surge protection circuits that meet or exceed FCC requirements. However, an incident such as a lightning strike at or near the telephone lines, could cause serious damage. 6.If the CT-P8700 is installed in an area with frequent or severe electrical storms, it is suggested that the telephone be disconnected during these storms or that additional surge suppression equipment be added to the installation. 7.In the case of trouble with the telephone, do not attempt to repair the telephone yourself. It is the responsibility of users requiring service to report the need for service to our Service Department.
