3.Put the battery pack in the compartment, then replace the cover.

To charge the battery pack, simply place the handset on the base, facing either up or down. The CHARGE/IN USE indicator on the base lights.

Recharge the battery pack when Low Bat- tery flashes on the display.

Important: Be sure the battery pack is prop- erly connected before you try to charge it. The CHARGE/IN USE indicator lights when the handset is on the base, even if the bat- tery pack is not connected.

Notes:

•When you first use the phone after charging or recharging the battery pack, the phone might not work and you might hear a five-beep error signal. If this hap- pens, return the handset to the base for about 5 seconds. This resets the secu- rity access-protection code.

•Using a pencil eraser, clean the charg- ing contacts on the handset and the base about once a month.

•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.)

•If the battery pack becomes weak during a call, the handset beeps every 3 sec- onds and Low Battery flashes on the display. When this happens, you cannot make another call on the phone until you recharge the battery pack.

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

•If the battery pack is completely dis- charged or the base loses power while the handset is away from it, place the handset on the base to reset the secu- rity access-protection code. If the hand- set lost power, recharge the battery pack.

•The supplied battery pack should last about a year. When it loses its ability to fully recharge, order a replacement bat- tery pack through your local RadioShack store (see “Replacing the Battery Pack” on Page 30).

SETTING THE DIALING MODE

Set DIAL MODE on the back of the base for the type of service you have. If you are not sure which type you have, after you charge the handset battery pack, do this test.

1.Set DIAL MODE to T (tone).

2.Lift the handset and listen for a dial tone.

3.Press any number other than 0.

Note: If your phone system requires that you dial an access code (9, for example) before you dial an outside number, do not press the access code number either.
