• Using a pencil eraser, clean the
charging contacts on the handset
and the base about once a month.
• If the TALK/BATT indicator does not
light and the phone does not work,
recharge the battery pack. (The bat-
tery power might be too low to light
the indicator.)
• If the battery pack becomes weak
during a call, you hear a beep and
the TALK/BATT indicator flashes
every 4 seconds. Recharge the bat-
tery 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 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 18).
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,
once the battery pack is fully charged,
do this test.
1. Be sure
PULSE-TONE
is set to
TONE
.
2. Lift the handset, press
TALK
, and lis-
ten 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 either.
If the dial tone stops, you have
touch-tone service. Leave
PULSE-
TONE
set to
TONE
.
If the dial tone continues, you have
pulse service. Set
PULSE-TONE
to
PULSE
.
