For the use of the second handset and its charger,
see “Using an Optional Handset” on Page 30.
The supplied battery pack should last for about a
year. If the battery pack does not hold a charge for
more than two hours after an overnight charge,
replace it with a new 3.6-volt, 800 mAh battery pack
with a connector that fits the socket in the battery
compartment. You can order a replacement battery
pack through your local RadioShack store. Install
the new battery pack and charge it for about 15–20
hours.
If you have trouble replacing the battery pack, take
the phone to your local RadioShack store for
assistance.
If you are not going to use your phone for an
extended period, disconnect the battery pack to
increase its usable life.
Ô
NOTE
Ô
• If you mounted the base
on the wall, place the
handset with the keypad
facing out so the charging
contacts make a clean
connection to charge the
battery pack.
• Using a pencil eraser,
clean the charging
contacts on the handset
and base about once a
month.
• If the battery pack
becomes weak during a
call, the handset beeps
and

before you can make
another call.

discharge the battery by
keeping the handset off
the base until

Otherwise, the battery
pack loses its ability to
fully recharge.

IMPORTANT
!
Be sure the battery pack is
properly connected before
you try to charge it. The
CHARGE/IN USE indicator
lights when the handset is
on the base, even if the
battery pack is not
connected.
