Recharge the battery pack when Low Battery flashes on the display.

Important: Be sure the battery pack is properly connected before you try to charge it. The CHARGE/INUSE indica- tor lights when the handset is on the base, even if the battery pack is not con- nected.

Notes:

•When you first use the phone after charging or recharging the battery pack, the phone might not work and you might hear an error tone when you press TALK. If this happens, return the handset to the base for about 5 seconds. This resets the security access-protection code.

•If the handset’s battery pack is com- pletely depleted, the security access-protection code might be lost. To reset the code, return the handset to the base for about 5 sec- onds.

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

•If the battery pack becomes weak during a call, the handset beeps every 3 seconds and Low Bat- tery flashes. 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. Otherwise, the battery pack loses its ability to fully recharge.
