If the phone is in use, Low Battery flashes and the handset beeps. Complete your conversation as quickly as possible and return the handset to either cradle for charging.

The last number dialed in the redial memory, the Menu display options, the names and the numbers stored in the memory locations or CID list are retained for up to 30 minutes while you replace the battery pack.

Cleaning the battery charging contacts

To maintain a good charge, it is important to clean the charging contacts on the handsets, main base unit and charging cradle once a month. Using water only, dampen a cloth to clean the charging contacts. Then make sure to go back over the charging contacts with a dry cloth before returning the handsets to the main base unit or charging cradle to charge.

Do not use paint thinner, benzene, alcohol, or other chemical products. Doing so may discolor the surface of the telephone and damage the finish.
