Radio Shack ET-1105 - Manual (Page 10)

10
Notes:
• You can place the handset on the
base face down or face up without
removing the belt clip. If you want to
use the hanging hole on the back of
the handset to place the handset on
the wall-mounted base face-up, re-
move the belt clip (see “Removing
the Belt Clip” on Page 13). However,
the battery pack will not fully charge
in this position.
• 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 when
you press
TALK . If this happens, re-
turn the handset to the base for
about 6 seconds. This resets the se-
curity access protection code.
• If the CHARGE indicator does not
light when you place the handset on
the base, be sure the battery pack
and AC adapter are correctly and
securely connected.
Also, check the charging contacts
on the handset and the base. If the
contacts are dirty or tarnished,
clean them with a pencil eraser.
• If the battery pack gets completely
discharged or the base loses power
while the handset is away from it,
the security access-protection code
needs to be reset. To reset the code,
place the handset on the base. If it
was the handset that lost power,
leave the handset on the base to
charge the battery pack.
• If the battery pack gets weak during
a call, the handset beeps once ev-
ery 16 seconds. If this happens, you
cannot make another call on the
phone until you recharge the battery
pack.
• About once a month, fully discharge
the battery pack by keeping the
handset off the base until
and
LOW BATTERY appear. Otherwise,
the battery pack loses its ability to
fully recharge.
• To avoid damage to the battery
pack, always recharge the handset
before battery power grows too
weak to display
.
• If you are not going to use your
phone for an extended period of
time, disconnect the battery pack.
This increases the battery pack’s us-
able life.
• The supplied battery pack should
last for about a year. When it loses
its ability to fully recharge, order a
replacement battery pack from your
local RadioShack store (see “Re-
placing the Battery Pack” on
Page 26).
