Low battery alert
When the battery pack is very low, the phone is programmed to eliminate functions in order to save power. When Low Battery - Charge Handset appears in the handset display and the phone is in standby, none of the keys will operate. If you are on a call, complete your conversation as quickly as possible, and return the handset to the cradle.
The battery pack needs to be charged when the empty battery icon appears.
Cleaning the charging contacts
To maintain a good charge, clean the charging contacts on the handset once a month. Dampen a cloth with plain water. Gently rub the damp cloth over the charging contacts until all visible dirt is removed. Dry the contacts thoroughly before returning the handset to the cradle.
Caution: Do not use paint thinner, alcohol, or other chemical products. | Contacts |

Power Failures
During a power failure, you will not be able to make or receive calls with the phone. To avoid damage from an electrical spike when the power comes back on, we recommend you unplug your phone during power outages.
