about 5 seconds to reset the security access-protection code.

•If the base loses power for about an hour while the handset is away from it, the security access-protection code might be lost. To reset the code, return the handset to the base for about 5 seconds.

The handset does lose its security access-protection code if the battery pack is completely discharged. Place the handset on the base to recharge the battery pack and reset the code.

•Using a pencil eraser, clean the charging contacts on the handset and base about once a month.

•If the battery pack becomes weak during

a call, the handset beeps every 3 seconds and Bem 8Wjj[ho flashes. When this happens, you cannot make a call until you recharge the battery pack.

•About once a month, fully discharge the battery by keeping the handset off the base until Bem 8Wjj[ho flashes on the display. Otherwise, the battery pack loses its ability to fully recharge.

•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 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, 600 mAh battery pack with a connector that fits the socket in the battery compartment. You can order

a replacement battery pack through your local RadioShack store. Install the new battery pack and charge it for about 24 hours.

Warning: Dispose of the old battery pack promptly and properly. Do not burn or bury it. See “Battery Safety Instructions” on Page 4 for additional information on proper battery handling.

If you have trouble replacing the battery pack, take the phone to your local RadioShack for assistance.
