CONNECTING, CHARGING, AND REPLACING THE BATTERY PACK

The answering system comes with a re- chargeable nickel-cadmium battery pack in- stalled in the handset, but not connected. Before using your system, you must connect the battery pack, then charge it for about 24 hours.

1.Press down then slide off the battery compartment cover.

2.Lift the battery pack out of the compart- ment and plug its connector into the socket in the compartment. The connec- tor fits only one way.

3.Put the battery pack in the compartment, then replace the cover.

To charge the battery pack, simply place the handset on the base, facing either up or down. The base’s CHARGE/IN USE indica- tor lights.

Recharge the battery pack when Bem 8Wjj[ho flashes on the handset’s display.

Important: Be sure the battery pack is prop- erly connected before you try to charge it. The CHARGE/IN USE indicator lights when the handset is on the base even if the battery pack is not properly connected.

Notes:

•When you first use the system after charging or recharging the battery pack, the phone might not work and you might hear a five-beep error signal. If this hap- pens, return the handset to the base for about 5 seconds. This resets the secu- rity access-protection code.

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

•If the handset’s display is blank and the phone does not work, recharge the bat- tery pack. (The battery power might be too low to light the display.)

•If the battery pack becomes weak during

a call, the handset beeps every 3 sec- onds and Bem 8Wjj[ho flashes. When this happens, you cannot make another call on the phone until you recharge the bat- tery pack.

•About once a month, fully discharge the

battery pack by keeping the handset off the base until Bem 8Wjj[ho flashes. Other- wise, the battery pack loses its ability to fully recharge.

•If the battery pack is completely dis- charged or the base loses power while the handset is away from it, place the handset on the base to reset the secu- rity access-protection code. If the hand- set loses power, recharge the battery pack.

The supplied battery pack should last about one 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.

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 5 for additional information on proper battery handling).

If you have trouble replacing the battery, take the answering system to your local Ra- dioShack store for assistance.
