IMPORTANT:
If you do not charge
the handset battery properly (for 12
hours) when you first set up the
phone, the battery’s long-term
performance will be compromised.
IMPORTANT:
Because cordless phones operate on electricity, you should have
at least one phone in your home that isn’t cordless in case the power goes out.
IMPORTANT:
Return the handset
to the base unit for at least 3
minutes once a week to reestablish
the phone’s communication link.
This procedure is also useful if you
find it difficult getting the phone to
go off hook.

When you place the handset in the base, the unit verifies its security code
which prevents false ringing from other cordless telephones.
After a power outage or battery replacement, you should place the
handset in the base for about 20 seconds to reset the code.
