▼Low battery indicator

When the battery pack is very low and needs to be charged, the phone is programmed to eliminate some functions to save power. If the phone is not in use, Low Battery flashes.

If the phone is in use, Low Battery flashes and the handset beeps.

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 “Low Battery” display flashes. 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 the TONE position unless your local phone system uses pulse dialing.
