• Using a pencil eraser, clean the
charging contacts on the handset
and the base about once a month.
• If the TALK/BATT indicator does not
light and the phone does not work,
recharge the battery pack. (The bat-
tery power might be too low to light
the indicator.)
• If the battery pack becomes weak
during a call, you hear a beep and
the TALK/BATT indicator flashes
every 3 seconds. Recharge the bat-
tery pack.
• If the battery pack is completely dis-
charged, the handset loses the
security access-protection code. To
reset the code, place the handset on
the base and charge the battery
pack.
• The supplied battery pack should
last for about a year. When the bat-
tery pack loses its ability to fully
recharge, order a replacement bat-
tery pack from your local
RadioShack store (see “Replacing
the Battery Pack” on Page 18).
SETTING THE DIALING
MODE
Set DIAL MODE on the back of the base
for the type of service you have. If you
are not sure which type you have, once
the battery pack is fully charged, do this
test.
1. Be sure DIAL MODE is set to T
(tone).
2. Lift the handset, press TALK , and lis-
ten for a dial tone.
3. Press any number other than 0 .
Note: If your phone system requires
that you dial an access code (9, for
example) before you dial an outside
number, do not press the access
code either.
If the dial tone stops, you have
touch-tone service. Leave
DIAL
MODE set to T .
If the dial tone continues, you have
pulse service. Set
DIAL MODE to P
(pulse).
