clean them with a pencil eraser.
• About once a month, fully dis-
charge the battery by keeping the
handset off the cradle until
flashes, then return the
handset to the cradle and fully
recharge the battery. If you do not
fully discharge and recharge the
battery periodically, it loses its
ability to fully recharge.
• The first time you use your phone
after charging a new battery, the
handset might not work and might
sound an error tone when you
press
TALK . This might also occur
when you recharge a battery that
has been completely discharged.
If this happens, be sure the hand-
set is turned on, then return the
handset to the cradle for 5 sec-
onds. This resets the security
access code.
