The supplied battery should last for about a year. When the battery loses its ability to fully recharge, order a replacement battery from your local Radio Shack store (see “Replacing the Battery”).

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 TONE/PULSE to 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.

If the dial tone stops, you have touch-tone service. Leave TONE/ PULSE set to TONE.

If the dial tone continues, you have pulse service. Set TONE/

PULSE to PULSE.

SETTING THE HANDSET’S VOLUME

To adjust the handset’s ringer volume, press R.VOL. while the phone is not in use. To adjust the volume of your tele- phone conversation, press R.VOL. while the call is in progress.

SETTING THE RINGER TONE

You can select one of the two different ringer tones when the phone is not in use. Press R.TONE to switch between a “chirping” and a “warbling” ringer tone.
