Battery Memory Effect
Rechargeable batteries can develop a “memory effect” (reduced charge capacity) caused by repeated charge and discharge cycles. The battery life will seem to be shorter every time you use the unit.
To Avoid Memory Effect
At least once a month, operate the unit until the “Battery Low” indicator appears. Then, charge the unit as described. Avoid “topping off” the charge after using the phone for a short time. Also, do not charge the Rechargeable Battery for extended periods of time.
Cleaning the Battery Contacts
To maintain a good charge, it is important to clean all charging contacts on the Handset and Base Unit about once a month. Use a pencil eraser or other contact cleaner. Do not use any liquids or solvents.
Setting the Pulse/Tone Switch
Be sure the PULSE/TONE switch is in the
TONE position.
✻ Most phone systems are Tone dialing. Check with your local phone company if you are not sure whether your system is Tone or Pulse dialing.
