The Basics

Notes on Recharging

•If the battery pack becomes weak during a call, Low Battery ﬂashes. When this happens, you cannot make a call until you recharge the battery pack.

IMPORTANT: Be sure the battery pack is properly connected before charging. The CHARGE indicator lights when the handset is on the base, even if the battery pack is not connected.

•If the display is blank and the phone does not work, recharge the battery pack. (The battery power might be too low to light the display.)

•About once a month, fully discharge the battery by keeping the handset off the base until Low Battery ﬂashes on the display. Otherwise, the battery pack loses its ability to fully recharge.

•Using a damp cloth, clean the charging contacts on the handset about once a month.

•If you are not going to use your phone for an extended period, disconnect the battery pack. This increases the battery pack’s usable life.

•The supplied battery pack should last for about a year. If the battery pack does not hold a charge for more than 2 hours after an overnight charge, replace it with a new 3.6-volt, 800 mAh battery pack with a connector that ﬁts the socket in the battery compartment.

You can order a replacement battery pack through RadioShack. Install the new battery pack and charge it for about 15–20 hours.
