Find Handset
To locate the handset, press [find] on the base. The handset will beep for 60 seconds. The beeping will stop when any handset key is pressed, when it is returned to the base, or when [find] is pressed. The handset will also stop beeping automatically when an incoming call is received.
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, the talk/batt low LED flashes when the battery pack is low.
If the phone is in use, the talk/batt low LED flashes and the handset beeps. Complete your conversation as quickly as possible and return the handset to the base for charging.
NOTE:
• Even when the battery pack is not being used, it will gradually discharge over a long period of time. For optimum performance, be sure to return the handset to the base unit after each telephone call.
• Dial mode setting, last number dialed and numbers stored in memory locations are retained for up to one minute while you replace the battery pack.
Cleaning the battery charging contacts
To maintain a good charge, clean the charging contacts on the handset once a month.
To clean, dampen a cloth with plain water and gently rub the cloth over the charging contacts until all visible dirt is removed. Dry the contacts thoroughly before returning the handset to the base.
Caution: Do not use paint thinner, benzene, alcohol, or other chemical products. Doing so may discolor the surface of the telephone and damage the finish.
Tone Dialing Switch-over
If your telephone company requires pulse dialing, you can temporarily switch over to tone dialing after the call connects. This feature is useful when you need tone dialing to use any automated menu systems, such as telephone bank tellers, telephone prescription refills, customer support menus, etc.
If your phone is set to pulse dialing mode, make your call normally. Once your call connects, press [
/tone]. Any digits you enter from then on will be sent as tone dialing. When this particular call ends, the phone automatically returns to pulse dialing mode.
