To Avoid this Memory Effect
At least once a month, operate the unit until the “Battery Low” indicator appears. Then recharge the battery for a full 15 - 20 hours. Avoid putting the handset back in the base after using the phone for a short time. This could cause “topping off” the charge.
Low Battery Indicator
When the battery pack in the handset is very low and needs to be charged, the
talk/batt low LED flashes.
If the talk/batt low LED begins to flash, the phone is programmed to eliminate its functions to save power. The table below describes how to return your phone to normal operation.

Note: Allow 15 to 20 hours without any interruption for the handset to fully recharge.
Setting the Pulse/Tone Switch
Be sure the PULSE/TONE switch is in the TONE position.
Note: Most phone systems are tone dialing. Check with your local phone company if you are not sure whether your system is tone or pulse dialing.
Adjusting Ringer Controls
To adjust the ringer volume of your handset, press Gwhen the phone is not in use.
You can also select one of two different ringer tones for the handset.
Press Gto select a different ringer tone when the phone is not in use.
Adjusting Handset Receiver Volume
Volume settings are “normal” and “high.” When the handset is first picked up, the volume will be
at the “normal” setting. Pressing the Vwill change the volume to “high.” This can be done during a call.
Automatic Digital Code Security
To avoid unauthorized calls on your phone, a digital code feature was added to all XC800 Series phones. This digital code is shared only between the handset and base. The code is set automatically when you first use the phone.
To change the digital code, be sure the handset is on the base, then:
1.Press the page/find button on the base.
2.After the handset stops beeping, remove it from the base.
3.Wait 5 seconds, then place the handset on the base.
4.The status LED blinks to indicate that the digital security code is set.
If the base loses power while the handset is off the base, the digital code may be erased. When this happens, the handset will not function. To reestablish communication between the handset and base:
1.Restore power to the base.
2.Place the handset back on the base.
3.The status LED will blink to indicate that the digital security code is set.
