A long beep will be heard when the attached battery is becoming exhausted. The warning ‘‘LOW BATT’’ will also flash in the display.

The error signal also sounds if an attempted call is unsuccessful or a call in progress is interrupted.

Confirmation Click

When you hold down the Power key, a click tells you when the phone is actually turned on or off.

When you are making a call, a click is heard when you have made contact with network.

Visual Signals

There is an indicator light on the top edge of the phone. Its location is shown in the figure on page 2.

Slow green flashing -- Service is available

If the phone is used as a portable unit, slow green flashing has the same significance as the SERV indicator in the display. You can both make and receive calls.

If the phone is powered from an external source via the receptacle at the bottom of the phone, a steady green light is shown instead of the slow green flashing.

Rapid green flashing -- Incoming call

Rapid green flashing has the same significance as the ■ (Call) indicator in the display. It indicates that someone is calling or has called you (Unanswered Call Indicator).

Red flashing -- Low battery alarm

Red flashing indicates that the attach-ed battery is becoming exhausted. The red flashing starts when the low battery alarm is issued for the first time.

Steady red light

Finally, after the low battery alarm has been issued several times, the phone turns itself off and a steady red light comes on. Refer to the chapter Batteries and Recharging.
