To charge the battery
pack, simply place the
handset on the base.
The CHARGE/IN USE
indicator on the base
lights.
Recharge the battery pack when the handset
beeps and the TALK/BATT indicator flashes.
Notes:
• If the CHARGE/IN USE indicator does
not light when you place the handset on
the base, be sure the battery pack and
AC adapter are correctly and securely
connected.
Also, check the charging contacts on the
handset and the base. If the contacts are
dirty or tarnished, clean them with a pen-
cil eraser.
• When you first use the phone after charg-
ing or recharging the battery pack, the
phone might not work and you might hear
an error tone. If this happens, return the
handset to the base for a few seconds.
• 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 30 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 for
about a year. When the battery pack
loses its ability to fully recharge, order a
replacement battery pack from your local
RadioShack store (see “Replacing the
Battery Pack” on Page 10).
Setting the Dialing Mode
Set
PULSE/TONE

the type of service you have. If you are not
sure which type you have, do this test.
1. Set
PULSE/TONE
to
TONE
.
2. Lift the handset and listen for a dial tone.
3. Press any number other than
0

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.
If the dial tone stops, you have touch-tone ser-
vice. Leave
PULSE/TONE
set to
TONE
.
If the dial tone continues, you have pulse ser-
vice. Set
PULSE/TONE
to
