•The supplied battery pack should last for about a year. When it loses its ability to fully recharge, order a replacement battery pack from your local RadioShack store (see “Re- placing the Battery Pack” on Page 25).
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, press TALK, 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 dial the access code either.
If the dial tone stops, you have
10
If the dial tone continues, you have pulse service. Set DIAL MODE to P (pulse).
4.Press TALK or place the handset on the base to hang up.
SETTING THE RINGER TONE/VOLUME
You can select one of four different ring- er tone/volume settings on the handset. At any time, except during a call, press 
or 
to select the desired ringer set- ting. Each time you press the button, the phone rings at the selected setting and the display shows Ringer A High, Ringer A Low, Ringer B High, or Ringer B Low.
Note: Pressing 
at Ringer A High
or 
at Ringer B Low does not change the setting. Press the opposite arrow key to change the setting up or down when at the highest or lowest lev- el.
TURNING AUTO TALK ON/OFF
Your phone is preset so you must press TALK when you lift the handset from the base to answer a call. With auto talk turned on, you can answer a call by just lifting the handset from the base. If the handset is away from the base, you can answer by pressing any key.
