To charge the battery pack, place the handset on the base
with the keypad facing forward. The CHARGE/IN USE
indicator on the base lights. Recharge the battery pack
when the handset beeps during talk and TALK/BATT LOW
flashes.
o
Recharging the Battery Pack
• If the CHARGE/IN USE indicator does not light when
you place the handset on the base, be sure the battery
pack and AC adapter are correctly and securely con-
nected. Also, check the charging contacts on the hand-
set. If the contacts are dirty or tarnished, clean them
with a damp cloth.
• When you first use the phone after charging or
recharging the battery pack, the phone might not work
and you might hear an error tone. Return the handset
to the base to change the digital security code.
• If the battery pack becomes weak during a call, the
handset beeps every 3 seconds and TALK/BATT LOW
flashes. When this happens, recharge the battery pack.
• If TALK/BATT LOW does not light and the phone does
not work, recharge the battery pack. (The battery power
might be too low to light TALK/BATT LOW.)
• About once a month, fully discharge the battery by
keeping the handset off the base until TALK/BATT LOW
flashes. Otherwise, the battery pack loses its ability to
fully recharge.
• The handset loses its digital security code if the battery
pack is completely discharged. Place the handset on
the base to recharge the battery pack and change the
code.
• If you are not going to use your phone for an extended
period, disconnect the battery pack. This increases the
battery pack’s usable life.
• The supplied battery pack should last for about a year.
If the battery pack does not hold a charge for more than
2 hours after an overnight charge, replace it with a new
3.6-volt, 600 mAh battery pack with a connector that fits
the socket in the battery compartment. You can order a
replacement battery pack through RadioShack. Install
the new battery pack and charge it for about 15–20
hours. If you have trouble replacing the battery pack,
take the phone to your local RadioShack for assistance.
