•About once a month, fully discharge the battery pack by keeping the handset off the base until the line indicators flash. Otherwise, the bat- tery 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 security
•The supplied battery pack should last about one year. When it loses its ability to fully recharge, order a replacement battery pack through your local RadioShack Store (see Replacing the battery pack.
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, do this test.
1.Be sure DIAL MODE is set to T (tone).
2.Press LINE 1 on the handset. Then listen for the 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 either.
If the dial tone stops, that line has tone service. If the dial tone contin- ues, that line has pulse service.
4.Press LINE 2, listen for the dial tone, and repeat Step 3.
If you have tone service on both lines, leave DIAL MODE set to T.
If you have pulse service on either line, set DIAL MODE to P (pulse). You can use tone services on the
line which supports them by press- ing ∗/TONE before any other keys.
ADJUSTING THE RINGER
The phone lets you control its base and handset ringer volumes separately. You can choose a high or low ringer setting for the base or the handset.
On the Handset
At any time except during a call, repeat- edly press VOLUME to change the ring- er’s volume.
On the Base
Set RING VOL on the back of the base to OFF, LO, or HI. With RING VOL set to OFF, the base’s ringer does not sound when a call is received, but the handset when it is off the base (and any other phone connected to the same line) still rings.
Note: The RING VOL setting on the base is common to both lines.
