• About once a month, fully discharge the
battery pack by keeping the handset off
the base until the TALK/BATT indicator
flashes. Otherwise, the battery pack
loses its ability to fully recharge.
• If the TALK/BATT indicator does not light
and the phone does not work, recharge
the battery pack. (The battery power
might be too low to light the indicator.)
• If the battery pack becomes weak during
a call, you hear a beep every 3 seconds
and the TALK/BATT indicator flashes
every 3 seconds. Recharge the battery
pack.
• If the battery pack is completely dis-
charged, the handset loses the security
access-protection code. To reset the
code, place the handset on the base and
charge the battery pack.
The supplied battery pack should last about
one 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.
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 bat-
tery handling).
If you have trouble replacing the battery, take
the phone to your local RadioShack store for
assistance.
