•The first time you use your phone after installing a new battery, the handset might not work or might sound an error tone when you press TALK. This might also occur when you recharge a battery that has been completely discharged.
If this happens, be sure RINGER ON/OFF is set to ON. Then return the handset to the cradle for 5 seconds. This resets the security access code.
•If the CHARGE indicator does not light when you place the handset on the cradle, be sure the battery is connected to the pins inside the battery compartment, and the AC adapter is securely connected to the base.
Also, check the charging contacts on the handset and base. If the contacts are dirty or tarnished, gently clean them with a pencil eraser.
•About once a month, fully dis- charge the battery. Keep the handset off the cradle until BATT LOW lights. Then return the hand- set to the cradle and recharge the battery for about 10 hours.
SETTING THE DIALING MODE
Set TONE/PULSE on the base for the type of service you have. If you are not sure which type you have, do this test.
1.Set TONE/PULSE to TONE.
2.Lift the handset, press TALK, and listen for a dial tone.
3.Press any number other than 0.
If the dial tone stops, you have touch- tone service. Leave TONE/PULSE set to TONE.
If the dial tone continues, you have pulse (rotary) service. Set TONE/ PULSE to PULSE.
