local phone company if
you’re not sure whether
your system is tone or pulse.

When the battery pack is very low and
needs to be charged, the DGAI980 is
programmed to eliminate some functions to
save power. If the phone is not in use, the
low battery
flashes. If the
phone is in use,

flashes and the handset beeps.

To avoid Memory Effect
On a monthly basis, use the phone until the
low battery
indicator flashes
on the handset. Then charge the battery for 15-20 hours.
With normal usage, your battery should last about one year.
To maintain a good charge, clean all charging contacts on the handset and base
about once a month. Use a pencil eraser or other contact cleaner. DO NOT use
liquids or solvents; you may damage your phone.
Be sure the
PULSE/TONE
switch
is in the
TONE
position, unless your local
phone system uses pulse dialing.

All rechargeable nickel-cadmium batteries
develop a “memory effect”. The memory effect
gradually reduces your talk and standby time.
