Setting the Dialing Mode

hear a five-beep error signal. Return the handset to the base for about 5 seconds to reset the security access-protection code.

•If the handset or the base loses power, the security access-protection code might be lost. To reset the code, return the handset to the base for about 5 sec- onds.

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

•If the battery pack becomes weak during a call, the handset beeps every 3 sec- onds and Bemý8Wjj[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 Bemý 8Wjj[ho flashes. Other- wise, 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, discon- nect the battery pack. This increases the battery pack's usable life.

The supplied battery pack should last about a year. If the battery pack does not hold a charge for more than 2 hours after an over- night 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.

Note: To avoid losing memory numbers, in- stall and begin charging the new battery pack within 2 minutes.

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, take the phone to your local RadioShack store for assistance.

Important: The EPA certified RBRC® Battery Recycling Seal on the nickel-cadmium (Ni-Cd) battery indicates RadioShack is voluntarily participating in an

industry program to collect and recycle these batteries at the end of their useful life, when taken out of service in the United States or Canada. The RBRC program provides a con- venient alternative to placing used Ni-Cd bat- teries into the trash or the municipal waste stream, which may be illegal in your area. Please call 1-800-THE-SHACK (1-800-843- 7422) for information on Ni-Cd battery recy- cling and disposal bans/restrictions in your area. RadioShack’s involvement in this pro- gram is part of the company’s commitment to preserving our environment and conserving our natural resources.

Your phone comes set for tone dialing. If you have pulse service, you must change the di- aling mode. If you are not sure which type of service you have, do this test.

Lift the handset, press TALK, and listen for a dial tone. 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.
