• 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 5 seconds.
• If the battery pack loses its charge
completely or the base loses
power while the handset is away
from it, the security access-
protection code needs to be reset.
To reset the security 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.
• Using a pencil eraser, clean the
charging contacts on the handset
and the base about once a month
to make sure they are not dirty or
tarnished.
• About once a month, fully dis-
charge the battery by keeping the
handset off the base until the
TALK/BATT LOW indicator lights.
Otherwise, the battery pack loses
its ability to fully recharge.
• If the TALK/BATT LOW indicator
does not light, but the phone does
not work, recharge the battery
pack. (The battery charge might
be too low to light the indicator.)
• The supplied battery pack should
last about a year. When the bat-
tery pack loses its ability to fully
recharge, order a replacement
battery pack (see “Replacing the
Battery Pack” on Page 32).
