•When you first use the phone after charging or recharging the battery pack, the phone might not work and you might hear 3 short beeps when you press TALK. If this happens, re- turn the handset to the base for about 5 seconds. This resets the security
•About once a month, fully discharge the battery pack by keeping the hand- set off the base until the BATT LOW indicator lights. Otherwise, the bat- tery pack loses its ability to fully re- charge.
•If the BATT LOW indicator does not light, but the phone does not work, re- charge the battery pack. (The battery pack charge might be too low to light the indicator.)
•If the battery pack becomes weak during a call, you hear a beep and the BATT LOW indicator flashes. End the call as soon as conveniently possible, and recharge the battery pack before using the phone again.
•If the battery pack is completely dis- charged or the base loses power while the handset is away from it, place the handset on the base to re- set the security
•The supplied battery pack should last for about a year. When the battery pack loses its ability to fully recharge, order a replacement battery pack from your local RadioShack store (see “Replacing the Battery Pack” on Page 32).

SETTING THE DIALING MODE
Set T/P (Tone/Pulse) on the back of the base for the type of service you have. If you are not sure which type you have, after you charge the handset battery pack, do this simple test.
1. Set T/P to T.
2.Press TALK on the handset and lis- ten for the 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 either.
If the dial tone stops, you have
T.
If the dial tone continues, you have pulse service. Set T/P to P.
4.Press TALK on the handset or place the handset on the base to hang up.
