Notes:

If the CHARGE indicator does not light when you place the handset on the base, be sure the battery pack and AC adapter are correctly and securely connected.

Also, check the charging contacts on the handset and the base. If the contacts are dirty or tarnished, clean them with a pencil eraser.

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. If this happens, return the handset to the base for a few seconds.

About once a month, fully dis- charge the battery pack by keep-

ing the handset off the base until the TALK/BATT LOW indicator flashes. Otherwise, the battery pack loses its ability to fully re- charge.

If the TALK/BATT LOW indicator does not light but the phone does not work, recharge the battery pack. (The battery power might be too low to light the indicator.)

If the battery pack becomes weak during a call, you hear a beep ev- ery 30 seconds and the TALK/ BATT LOW indicator flashes ev- ery 3 seconds. Recharge the bat- tery pack.

If the battery pack is completely discharged, the handset loses the security access-protection code. To reset the code, place the hand- set on the base and charge the battery pack.

The supplied battery pack should last for about a year. When the battery pack loses its ability to fully recharge, order a replace- ment battery pack from your local RadioShack store (see “Replacing the Battery Pack” on Page 19).
