About once a month, fully dis- charge the battery by keeping the handset off the base until the BATT LOW indicator flashes. Oth- erwise, the battery loses its ability to fully recharge.

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

If the battery pack gets weak dur- ing a call, a beep sounds about every 30 seconds, and the BATT LOW indicator flashes about every 3 seconds. If this happens, you cannot make another call using the handset until you recharge the battery.

If the battery loses its charge com- pletely, the TAD-1016 loses the security access-protection code. Place the handset on the base and charge the battery; this also resets the code.

The supplied battery should last about a year. When the battery loses its ability to fully recharge, order a replacement battery (see “Replacing the Battery Pack” on Page 34).

SETTING THE DIALING MODE

Set P∙ ∙T 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 P∙ ∙T to T (tone).

2.Press SPEAKER and listen for a dial tone.

3.Press any number other than 0.

Note: If your phone system re- quires 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, you have touch-tone service. Leave P∙ ∙T set to T.

If the dial tone continues, you have pulse service. Set P∙ ∙T to P (pulse).

4.To hang up, press SPEAKER.
