• When you first use the phone after
charging 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 BATT
LOW indicator flashes. Otherwise,
the battery pack loses its ability to
fully recharge.
• If the BATT LOW indicator does not
light but 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, the BATT LOW indica-
tor flashes and you hear three
beeps every 30 seconds. Recharge
the battery pack.
• If the battery pack gets completely
discharged or the base loses power
while the handset is away from it,
the security access-protection code
needs to be reset. To reset the secu-
rity code, place the handset on the
base. If it was the handset that lost
power, leave the handset on the
base to 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 22).
SETTING THE DIALING
MODE
Set
T/P
(Tone/Pulse) 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 is charged, do this test.
1. Set
T/P
to
T
.
2. Lift the handset, press
TALK
, and
listen for the 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
T/P
set to
T
.
If the dial tone continues, you have
pulse service. Set
T/P
to
P
.
