hear a five-beep error signal. Return the
handset to the base for about 5 seconds
to reset the security access-protection
code.
• If the handset or the base loses power,
the security access-protection code
might be lost. To reset the code, return
the handset to the base for about 5 sec-
onds.
• Using a pencil eraser, clean the charg-
ing contacts on the handset and base
about once a month.
• If the battery pack becomes weak during
a call, the handset beeps every 3 sec-
onds and

flashes. When this
happens, you cannot make a call until
you recharge the battery pack.
• About once a month, fully discharge the
battery by keeping the handset off the
base until

flashes. Other-
wise, the battery pack loses its ability to
fully recharge.
• If the display is blank and the phone
does not work, recharge the battery
pack. (The battery power might be too
low to light the display.)
• If you are not going to use your phone
for an extended period of time, discon-
nect the battery pack. This increases the
battery pack's usable life.
The supplied battery pack should last about
a year. If the battery pack does not hold a
charge for more than 2 hours after an over-
night 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 your local RadioShack store. Install
the new battery pack and charge it for about
24 hours.
Note: To avoid losing memory numbers, in-
stall and begin charging the new battery
pack within 2 minutes.
Warning: Dispose of the old battery pack
promptly and properly. Do not burn or bury it
(see “Battery Safety Instructions” on Page 4
for additional information on proper battery
handling).
If you have trouble replacing the battery, take
the phone to your local RadioShack store for
assistance.

SETTING THE DIALING
MODE
Your phone comes set for tone dialing. If you
have pulse service, you must change the di-
aling mode. If you are not sure which type of
service you have, do this test.
Lift the handset, press
TALK
, and listen for a
dial tone. Press any number other than 0.
Note: If your phone system requires that you
dial an access code (9, for example) before
you dial an outside number, do not press the
access code either.
