• Use a pencil eraser to clean the
charging contacts on the handset
and the base about once a month.
• If the battery pack becomes com-
pletely discharged or the base loses
power while the handset is away
from it, the security code might be
lost. To reset the code, return the
handset to the base. If it was the
handset that lost power, leave the
handset on the base to charge the
battery pack.
• About once a month, fully discharge
the battery pack by keeping the
handset off the base until the low
battery indications (
Low
Battery
flashing on the handset’s display
and beeping) appear. Otherwise,
the battery pack loses its ability to
fully recharge.
• The supplied battery pack should
last for about a year. When the bat-
tery pack loses its ability to fully
recharge, order a replacement bat-
tery pack from your local
RadioShack store (see “Replacing
the Battery Pack” on Page 34).
SETTING THE DIALING
MODE
Set
PULSE-TONE
on the back of the
base for the type of service you have. If
you are not sure which type you have,
do this test.
1. Be sure
PULSE-TONE
is set to
TONE
(tone).
2. Press
LINE 1
on the base. The LINE
1 SPEAKER indicator lights. Then
listen for the dial tone.
3. Press any number other than
0
on
the base.
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.
If the dial tone stops, that line has
tone service.
