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

•If the TALK/BATT indicator does not light and the phone does not work, recharge the battery pack. (The bat- tery power might be too low to light the indicator.)

•If the battery pack becomes weak during a call, you hear a beep and the TALK/BATT indicator flashes every 4 seconds. Recharge the bat- tery pack.

•If the battery pack is completely dis- charged, the handset loses the security access-protection code. To reset the code, place the handset on the base and charge the battery pack.

•The supplied battery pack should last for about a year. When the bat- tery pack loses its ability to fully recharge, order a replacement bat- tery pack from your local RadioShack store (see “Replacing the Battery Pack” on Page 18).

Set PULSE-TONEon the back of the base for the type of service you have. If you are not sure which type you have, once the battery pack is fully charged, do this test.

1.Be sure PULSE-TONEis set to TONE.

2.Lift the handset, press TALK, and lis- ten for a dial tone.

3.Press any number other than 0.

Note: If your phone system requires that you dial an access code (9, for example) before you dial an outside number, do not press the access code either.

If the dial tone stops, you have touch-tone service. Leave PULSE- TONE set to TONE.

If the dial tone continues, you have pulse service. Set PULSE-TONEto
