Notes:
•If the CHARGE indicator does not light or blinks continuously when you place the handset on the cra- dle, be sure the battery and AC adapter are correctly and securely connected. Also, check the charg- ing contacts on both the handset and base. If the contacts are dirty or tarnished, clean them with a pencil eraser.
•If the handset is charged, and the AC adapter is unplugged from the AC outlet or the AC outlet loses power, the handset beeps inter- mittently until power is restored to the base and the security access- protection code is reset. To turn off the handset sooner so it stops beeping, press TONE 
, #, or any number key
•If the base loses AC power and the handset is away from the base, place the handset on the base for a few seconds after AC power is restored. This resets the security
You can recharge the battery pack at any time, but you must be sure to re- charge the battery pack when the handset’s PRIVACY/LOW BATT indi- cator lights.

If the battery pack will not hold a charge, replace it. We recommend you replace the battery pack about once a year.
Notes:
•The first time you use your phone after charging a new or completely discharged battery, the handset might not work or it might sound an error tone when you press TALK. If this happens, replace the handset on the base for about 5 seconds, then try again.
•About once a month, fully dis- charge the battery. Otherwise, it will lose its ability to fully recharge, and you might have to recharge and replace it more often.
To fully discharge the battery, keep the handset off the base until PRIVACY/LOW BATT turns on. Then return the handset to the base and fully recharge the bat- tery.
•Some deeply discharged batteries take longer to charge. If overnight charging is not sufficient, try charging for up to 48 hours.
