Telephone Maintenance

• Always use a damp or antistatic cloth to clean the telephone. Never
use a dry cloth.
• If the telephone is very dirty, clean it with a diluted neutral cleaner con-
taining surfactants, such as a dish detergent. Afterwards remove all
traces of the cleaner with a damp cloth (using water only).
• Never use cleaners containing alcohol, cleaners that corrode plastic, or
abrasive powders.

Echo Effect

Echoes can occur - sometimes quite distinctly - in the course of a tele-
phone call. This effect is not caused by a product or design fault in your
telephone but rather by the other party's telephone.

Troubleshooting

Pressed key does not respond:
Check whether the key is stuck.
Telephone does not ring:
Check whether the do not disturb function was activated on your tele-
phone ("Do not disturb" appears on the screen). If so, deactivate it

You cannot dial an external number:
Check whether you telephone is locked (US: "Not authorized" UK: "Access
denied" appears on the screen). If so, unlock the telephone
No LDAP or WAP functionality, lamps (key LEDs) do not shine or the

tion by HFA with "power over LAN").
