To charge the battery pack, place the handset either faceup or facedown on the base. The IN USE/CHARGE indica- tor on the base lights.
Recharge the battery pack when the TALK/LOW BATT indicator on the hand- set flashes.
Important: Be sure the battery pack is properly connected before you try to charge it. The IN USE/CHARGE indica- tor lights when the handset is on the base, even if the battery pack is not con- nected.
Notes:
•When you first use the phone after charging or recharging the battery pack, the phone might not work and you might hear three beeps when you press TALK. If this happens, return the handset to the base for about 2 seconds. This resets the security
•If the battery pack is completely dis- charged, the handset might lose its security
•Using a pencil eraser, clean the charging contacts on the handset and the base about once a month.
•If the battery pack becomes weak during a call, the handset beeps every 16 seconds and the TALK/ LOW BATT indicator flashes. When this happens, you cannot make another call on the phone until you recharge the battery pack.
•About once a month, fully discharge the battery pack by keeping the handset off the base until the TALK/ LOW BATT indicator flashes. Other- wise, the battery pack loses its abil- ity to recharge.
•If the TALK/LOW BATT indicator does not light and the phone does not work, recharge the battery pack. (The battery charge might be too low to light the indicator.)
•If you are not going to use your phone for an extended period of time, disconnect the battery pack. This increases the battery pack's usable life.
•The supplied battery pack should last for about a year. When it loses its ability to fully recharge, order a replacement battery pack from your local RadioShack store (see “Replacing the Battery Pack” on Page 33).
