Preparation
Note: You can place the handset on the base faceup or facedown.
Recharge the battery pack when: the LOW BATT indicator on the handset
flashes, the phone beeps four times when you press
PHONE
, the LOW
BATT indicator is on when the phone is off, or the phone does not operate
when you press
PHONE
.
Notes:
²
When you first use the phone after charging or recharging the battery pack, the phone might not work and
you might hear a two-beep signal when you press
TALK
. If this happens, return the handset to the base for
about 15 seconds. This resets the security access protection code.
²
If the CHARGING indicator does not light when you place the handset on the base, be sure the battery pack
and AC adapter are correctly and securely connected.
Also, check the charging contacts on the handset and the base. If the
contacts are dirty or tarnished, clean them with a pencil eraser.
²
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 code, place the handset on the base for
about 15 seconds. If it was the handset that lost power, leave the handset on the base to charge the battery
pack.
²
If the battery pack gets weak during a call, the handset sounds 4 beeps every 30 seconds. If this happens,
you cannot make another call on the phone until you recharge the battery pack.
²
About once a month, fully discharge the battery pack by keeping the handset off the base until the LOW
BATT indicator lights. Otherwise, the battery pack loses its ability to fully recharge.
²
If you are not going to use your phone for an extended period of time, disconnect the battery pack. This
increases the battery pack’s usable life.
²
The supplied battery pack should last for about a year. When it loses its ability to fully recharge, order a
replacement battery pack from your local RadioShack store (see “Replacing the Handset battery pack” on
Page 24).
