Recharge the battery pack when Low
Battery flashes on the display.
Important: Be sure the battery pack is
properly connected before you try to
charge it. The CHARGE/IN USE indica-
tor lights when the handset is on the
base, even if the battery pack is not con-
nected.
Notes:
• When you first use the phone after
charging or recharging the battery
pack, the phone might not work and
you might hear a five-beep error sig-
nal. If this happens, return the hand-
set to the base for about 5 seconds.
This resets the security access-pro-
tection code.
• Using a pencil eraser, clean the
charging contacts on the handset
and the base about once a month.
• 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.)
• If the battery pack becomes weak
during a call, the handset beeps
every 3 seconds and
Low Bat-
tery flashes. When 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
Low
Battery flashes. Otherwise, the
battery pack loses its ability to fully
recharge.
• If the battery pack is completely dis-
charged or the base loses power
while the handset is away from it,
place the handset on the base to
reset the security access-protection
code. If it was the handset that lost
power, recharge the battery pack.
• The supplied battery pack should
last about a year. When it loses its
ability to fully recharge, order a
replacement battery pack through
your local RadioShack store (see
“Replacing the Battery Pack” on
Page 37).
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, after
you charge the handset battery pack, do
this simple test.
