• If the CHARGE/TALK ind icator
does not light when you place the
handset on the cradle, be sure the
battery is connected to the pins
inside the battery compartment
and the AC adapter is securely
connected to the base. Also,
check the charging contacts on
the handset and base. If the con-
tacts are dirty or tarnished, gently
clean them with a pencil eraser.
• About once a month, fully dis-
charge the battery by keeping the
handset off the cradle until
flashes, then return the
handset to the cradle and fully
recharge the battery. If you do not
fully discharge and recharge the
battery periodically, it loses its
ability to fully recharge.
The first time you use your phone
after installing a new battery, the
handset might not work and might
sound an error tone when you
press
TALK. This m ight also oc cur
when you recharge a battery that
has been completely discharged.
If this happens, be sure the hand-
set is turned on, then return the
handset to the cradle for 5 sec-
onds. This resets the security
access code.
SETTING THE DIALING MODE
Set TONE/PULSE 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. Set TON E/PULSE to TONE.
2. Lift the handset and listen for a
dial tone.
3. Press any number other than 0.
4. If the dial tone stops, you have
touch-tone service.
If the dial tone continues, you have
pulse service. Set TONE/PULSE to
PULSE.
