Making calls (continued)
Notes
• When making a call on the cordless handset, “
” appears on the display
indicating the receiver sensitivity with the base unit. Three bars indicate a
good reception, no bar indicates a bad reception. When calling from an area
with poor reception, you may experience interference or the call may be
disconnected, so try to use the cordless handset in areas that have a good
reception.
• When you increase the sound volume, in some cases the back ground noise
may be increased as well. You should adjust the volume accordingly.
• If the cordless handset beeps every second during a conversation and “ ”
appears on the display, move closer to the base unit; otherwise, you will hear
five short error beeps and “NO CONNECTION” will appear on the display,
and the call will be disconnected after 30 seconds.
• When the talk time exceeds 9:59:59, the display counts from 0:00:00 again.
If the battery becomes weak during a call
The cordless handset will beep twice per second, “BATTERY LOW”
appears on the display. Finish your call and replace the cordless
handset on the base unit to charge the battery pack.
For optimum performance, charge the battery for a full 12 hours.
Note that during the initial charge time (approx. 10 minutes), “PLEASE
WAIT...” and “BATTERY LOW” appear on the display and the
cordless handset cannot be used.
After “BATTERY LOW” turns off, you
may
be able to use the cordless
handset, but the battery duration will be
very short
; thus it is
recommended that you
fully charge
the battery before next use.
