Use a pencil eraser to clean the charging contacts on the handset and the base about once a month.

If the battery pack becomes com- pletely discharged or the base loses power while the handset is away from it, the security code might be lost. To reset the code, return the handset to the base. If it was the handset that lost power, leave the handset on the base to charge the battery pack.

About once a month, fully discharge the battery pack by keeping the handset off the base until the low battery indications (Low Battery flashing on the handset’s display and beeping) appear. Otherwise, the battery pack loses its ability to fully recharge.

The supplied battery pack should last for about a year. When the bat- tery pack loses its ability to fully recharge, order a replacement bat- tery pack from your local RadioShack store (see “Replacing the Battery Pack” on Page 34).

SETTING THE DIALING MODE

Set PULSE-TONEon the back of the base for the type of service you have. If you are not sure which type you have, do this test.

PULSE-TONE

2.Press LINE 1 on the base. The LINE 1 SPEAKER indicator lights. Then listen for the dial tone.

LINE 1

LINE 2

3.Press any number other than 0 on the base.

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.
