conversation cannot be made on the HANDSET.

will be heard when the HANDSET is properly positioned in the
BASE UNIT CHARGE CRADLE and charging. Securely positioning the
HANDSET, KEYPAD face up, in the BASE UNIT will also prevent the

Recharging the Battery Pack
The nickel metal hydride (Ni-MH) BATTERY PACK in the
HANDSET
can be recharged many
times using the built-in charger in the
BASE UNIT
.
When the BATT LOW symbol appears on the LCD Screen, a
“
beep
”
sound will be heard every
10 seconds. This indicates that the BATTERY PACK needs to be recharged.
Charge the BATTERY PACK at least once every 90 days of non-use to avoid battery failure.
When the BATTERY PACK can no longer be charged, replacement of the BATTERY PACK will
be necessary.
The BATTERY PACK used in your telephone may develop a condition known as
“
MEMORY
”
.
Once subjected to a regular short discharging routine, the BATTERY PACK assumes the
discharging pattern it was subjected to. This is known as a
“
MEMORY
”
condition which causes
rapid discharging thereby shortening the BATTERY PACK charge span. If you believe your
BATTERY PACK has developed a
“
MEMORY
”
condition, do not charge the
HANDSET
until the
BATT LOW symbol appears on the LCD Screen. When the BATT LOW symbol appears on the
LCD Screen, charge the
HANDSET
fully for 12 hours.
