happens, you cannot make a call until you
recharge the battery pack.
If the display is blank and the phone does
not work, recharge the battery pack. (The
battery power might be too low to light the
display.)
About once a month, fully discharge the
battery by keeping the handset off the base

Otherwise, the battery pack loses its ability
to fully recharge.
The handset loses its security access-
protection code if the battery pack is
completely discharged. While holding
INTERCOM
on the base, place the handset
on the base to recharge the battery pack
and change the code.
Using a pencil eraser, clean the charging
contacts on the handset and base about
once a month.
If you are not going to use your phone for an
extended period, disconnect the battery
pack. This increases the battery pack’s
usable life.
The supplied battery pack should last for
about a year. If the battery pack does not
hold a charge for more than 2 hours after an
overnight charge, replace it with a new 3.6-
volt, 600 mAh battery pack with a connector
that fits the socket in the battery
compartment. You can order a replacement
battery pack through RadioShack. Install
the new battery pack and charge it for about
15–20 hours.
