Out of range. You have walked into an area that is near the end of the operating
range of the radio module. You can continue your conversation or initiate a call,

communications link. If a link is lost, the call will be automatically placed on
Hold, before the handset will turn off. To talk with your party, move back toward
the radio module, press
, then proceed as you would for any call placed on
Hold.
• If out of range and attempting to make a call, the handset emits 2 beeps and
flashes the
icon twice; then the handset automatically turns off.
Cannot establish communication link. You are completely out of range of the
radio module. To make the call, move back towards the radio module and try
again.

Low Battery Indicator The Battery Charge Level is indicated by the number of cells displayed on the
Battery Charge Level icon (
). If all four cells are filled in, the battery is fully
charged. If two or less cells are displayed, it is time to recharge the battery.
The standard battery pack has approximately three hours of continuous talk time after
being fully charged.
The optional extended battery pack has approximately eight hours of continuous talk
time after being fully charged.
When the handset is On and the battery power is low, the handset will emit two beeps
and/or turn on the vibrator for a short period of time and the
icon on the handset
display will flash. When this occurs, depending on the condition and/or age of your
battery, you have five minutes or less of talk time left. At this point, you can either:
• Complete your call, turn the handset off, and recharge the battery pack, or,
• If you have a charged spare battery pack, place your call on Hold and replace the
handset battery pack with the spare battery pack. Wait 6 to 10 seconds, then turn
the handset on and proceed as you would for any call placed on Hold.
Note: When the battery power is low, two beeps will sound each time you press
until either the battery is drained or you replace the battery. If you
continue talking, the handset will turn off when the battery pack is
drained. Your call will be placed on Hold automatically so that you can
swap battery packs or pick up the call on another telephone.
