Important: Be sure the battery pack is
properly connected before you try to
charge it.
Notes:
• When you first use the phone after
charging or recharging the battery
pack, the phone might not work and
you might hear a five-beep error sig-
nal. If this happens, return the hand-
set to the base for about 5 seconds.
This resets the security access-pro-
tection code.
• Using a pencil eraser, clean the
charging contacts on the handset
and the base about once a month.
• If the handset's display is blank and
the phone does not work, recharge
the battery pack. (The battery power
might be too low to light the display.)
• If the battery pack becomes weak
during a call, the handset beeps
every 3 seconds and
Low
Bat-
tery
flashes. When this happens,
you cannot make another call on the
phone until you recharge the battery
pack.
• About once a month, fully discharge
the battery pack by keeping the
handset off the base until
Low
Battery
flashes. Otherwise, the
battery pack loses its ability to fully
recharge.
• If the battery pack is completely dis-
charged or the base loses power
while the handset is away from it,
place the handset on the base to
reset the security access-protection
code. If it was the handset that lost
power, recharge the battery pack.
• The supplied battery pack should
last about a year. When it loses its
ability to fully recharge, order a
replacement battery pack through
your local RadioShack store (see
“Replacing the Battery Pack” on
Page 26).
SETTING THE DIALING
MODE
Set
DIAL MODE P- -T
on the back of the
base for the type of service you have. If
you are not sure which type you have,
after you charge the handset battery
pack, do this simple test.
1. Set
DIAL MODE P- -T
to
-T
.
2. Press
SPEAKER
and listen for a dial
tone.
3. Press any number other than
0
on
the base's keypad.
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 number either.
