During the period that the power is off, you will not be able to make or receive calls with the telephone.
8-8. Battery Information
Average battery life
With average use, your handset battery provides approximately six hours of talk time and approximately seven days of standby time. You can achieve optimum battery life and performance by returning the handset to the cradle after each use. When your handset is left off of the cradle, the battery will gradually discharge even if the handset is not being used. The actual talk time duration will be reduced in proportion to the amount of time the handset is off the cradle.
Low battery alert
When the battery pack is very low and needs to be charged, the phone is programmed to eliminate functions in order to save power. If the phone is not in use, LOW BATTERY CHARGE HANDSET appears on the LCD, and none of the keys will operate. During a call, the handset beeps, and the LCD flashes LOW BATTERY. Complete your conversation as quickly as possible and return the handset to the cradle for charging.
Note: Information stored in the phone's memory will be retained for thirty minutes after the battery pack is removed. This includes all setup information, last number dialed, speed dial memory, and the CID list.
Battery replacement and handling
When the operating time becomes short even after a battery is recharged, please replace the battery. With normal usage, your battery should last about one year. To order replacement batteries, please contact Uniden’s Parts Department. The contact information is listed on the back cover page.
