•If the battery pack becomes weak during a call, the handset beeps every 3 seconds and Low Bat- tery flashes. If this happens, you cannot make another call on the phone until you recharge the battery pack.
•About once a month, fully discharge the battery pack by keeping the handset off the base until Low Battery flashes. 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 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 “Replacing the Battery Pack” on Page 28).

If the dial tone stops, you have touch- tone service. Leave DIAL MODE set to T.
If the dial tone continues, you have pulse service. Set DIAL MODE to P (pulse).
