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 LINE 1 or LINE 2. If this happens, return the handset to the base for about five seconds. This resets the security access-protec- tion code.

If the battery pack gets weak during a call, the handset beeps every 3 seconds and the line indicators flash. When this happens, you can- not make another call on the phone until you recharge the battery pack.

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 (flashing line indi- cators and beeping) appear. Other- wise, 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 at your local RadioShack store (see “Replacing the Battery Pack” on Page 25).
