• When you first use the phone after charging or
recharging the battery pack, the phone might not work
and you might hear an error tone. Return the handset
to the base for about 3 seconds to change the security
access-protection code.
• If the battery pack becomes weak during a call, the
handset beeps every 3 seconds and TALK/BATT LOW
flashes. When this happens, recharge the battery pack.
• If TALK/BATT LOW does not light and the phone does
not work, recharge the battery pack. (The battery
power might be too low to light TALK/BATT LOW.)
• About once a month, fully discharge the battery by
keeping the handset off the base until TALK/BATT LOW
flashes. Otherwise, the battery pack loses its ability to
fully recharge.
• The handset loses its security access-protection code if
the battery pack is completely discharged. Place the
handset on the base to recharge the battery pack and
change the code.
• If you are not going to use your phone for an extended
period, disconnect the battery pack. This increases the
battery pack’s usable life.
The supplied battery pack should last for about a year. If the
battery pack does not hold a charge for more than 2 hours
after an overnight charge, replace it with a new 3.6-volt, 600
mAh battery pack with a connector that fits the socket in the
battery compartment. You can order a replacement battery
pack through RadioShack. 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 for assistance.

Most phone systems use tone dialing which sends DTMF
tones through the phone lines. However some phone
systems still use pulse dialing such as in rural areas. The
default setting is tone dialing. Depending on your dialing
system, set the mode as follows:
Ô
1. Press and hold
FLASH
until you hear a confirmation
tone.
2. To set the dial mode for pulse dialing, press
#
. Or to set
the dial mode for tone dialing, press
✱
/tone
.
A confirmation tone sounds to indicate the setting is
complete.
• If you are not sure of your dialing system, set for tone
dialing. Make a trial call. If the call connects, leave the
setting as is, otherwise set for pulse dialing.
• If your phone dialing system requires pulse dialing and
you need to send DTMF tones for certain situations
