Uniden DGA940 Cleaning the Battery Contacts, Setting the PULSE/TONE Switch, Low battery indicator

Most phone systems use tone dialing. Check with your local phone company if you’re not sure whether your system is tone or pulse.

▼Low battery indicator

The low battery indicator shows when the battery pack is very low and needs to be charged. If the phone is not in use, the talk/batt low LED flashes every four seconds. If the phone is in use, the talk/batt low LED flashes every four seconds and the handset beeps. Complete your conversation as quickly as possible and return the handset to the base for charging.

All rechargeable nickel-cadmium batteries develop a “memory effect”. The memory effect gradually reduces your talk and standby time.

▼To avoid Memory Effect

On a monthly basis, use the phone until the talk/batt low LED indicator flashes on the handset. Then charge the battery for 15-20 hours.

With normal usage, your battery should last about one year.

CLEANING THE BATTERY CONTACTS

To maintain a good charge, clean all charging contacts on the handset and base about once a month. Use a pencil eraser or other contact cleaner. DO NOT use liquids or solvents; you may damage your phone.

SETTING THE PULSE/TONE SWITCH

Be sure the PULSE/TONE switch

is in the TONE position, unless your local phone system uses pulse dialing.
