Important: Be sure the battery pack is properly connected before you try to charge it. The CHARGE/INUSE indica- tor lights when the handset is on the base, even if the battery pack is not con- nected.

Notes:

•When you first use the phone after charging or recharging the battery pack, the phone might not work and you might hear an error tone when you press TALK. If this happens, re- turn the handset to the base for about 5 seconds. This resets the se- curity access-protection code.

•If the handset’s battery pack is com- pletely depleted, the security ac- cess-protection code might be lost. To reset the code, return the hand- set to the base for about 5 seconds.

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

•About once a month, fully discharge the battery pack by keeping the handset off the base until Low Battery flashes with the phone off-hook. Otherwise, the battery pack loses its ability to fully re- charge.

•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 of time, disconnect the battery pack. This increases the battery pack’s usable life.

•The supplied battery pack should last for about a year. When it loses its ability to fully recharge, order a replacement battery pack from your local RadioShack store (see “Re- placing the Battery Pack” on Page 24).

Set PULSE/TONE on 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, perform this test.

1.Be sure PULSE/TONE is set to

TONE.
