•If the battery pack becomes weak during a call, the handset beeps ev- ery 3 seconds and Low Battery flashes. When this happens, you cannot make another call on the phone until you recharge the battery pack.

•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 26).
