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. If this happens, return the handset to the base for a few seconds.

About once a month, fully discharge the battery pack by keeping the handset off the base until the BATT LOW indicator flashes. Otherwise, the battery pack loses its ability to fully recharge.

If the BATT LOW indicator does not light but the phone does not work, recharge the battery pack. (The bat- tery power might be too low to light the indicator.)

If the battery pack becomes weak during a call, the BATT LOW indica- tor flashes and you hear three beeps every 30 seconds. Recharge the battery pack.

If the battery pack gets completely discharged or the base loses power while the handset is away from it, the security access-protection code needs to be reset. To reset the secu- rity code, place the handset on the base. If it was the handset that lost power, leave the handset on the base to charge the battery pack.

The supplied battery pack should last for about a year. When the bat- tery pack loses its ability to fully recharge, order a replacement bat- tery pack from your local RadioShack store (see “Replacing the Battery Pack” on Page 22).

SETTING THE DIALING MODE

Set T/P (Tone/Pulse) 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 is charged, do this test.

1. Set T/P to T.

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

3.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.

If the dial tone stops, you have touch-tone service. Leave T/P set to

T.

If the dial tone continues, you have pulse service. Set T/P to P.
