Notes on Recharging
If the battery pack becomes weak during a call, Low
Battery fl ashes. When this happens, you cannot
make a call until you recharge the battery pack.
IMPORTANT: Be sure the battery pack is
properly connected before charging. The
CHARGE indicator lights when the handset
is on the base, even if the battery pack is not
connected.
If the display is blank and the phone does not work,
recharge the battery pack. (The battery power might
be too low to light the display.)
About once a month, fully discharge the battery by
keeping the handset off the base until Low Battery
fl ashes on the display. Otherwise, the battery pack
loses its ability to fully recharge.
Using a damp cloth, clean the charging contacts on
the handset about once a month.
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, 800 mAh battery pack
with a connector that fi ts 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.
