If the Battery icon begins to flash, the phone is
programmed to eliminate its functions to save
power. The table below describes what to do to
return your phone to normal operation.
During A Call
In Standby Mode
Only the
T
button
operates.
None of the buttons will
operate.
The Handset beeps and
the battery icon flashes

Return the Handset to
the Base Unit for
charging.
Note: Allow 15 to 20 hours without any interruption
for the Handset to fully recharge.
Battery Memory Effect
Rechargeable batteries can develop a “memory”
(reduced charge capacity) caused by repeated
charge and discharge cycles. The battery life will
seem to be shorter every time you use the unit.
To Avoid this Memory Effect
At least once a month, operate the unit until the
“Battery Low” indicator appears. Avoid “topping off”
the charge after using the phone for a short time.
Also, do not charge the Rechargeable Battery for
extended periods of time.
Setting the Pulse/Tone Switch
Be sure the PULSE/TONE switch is in the TONE
position.
Note: Most phone systems are Tone dialing. Check
with your local phone company if you are not
sure whether your system is Tone or Pulse
dialing.
Automatic Digital Code Security
To avoid unauthorized calls on your phone, a
Digital Code feature was added to all DXI860
phones. This Digital Code is shared only between
the Handset and Base Unit. The code is set
automatically when you first use the phone.
To change the Digital Code, be sure the Handset
is on the Base, then:
1. Press
page/find on
the Base Unit.
2. After the Handset
stops beeping,
remove it from the
Base Unit.
3. Wait 5 seconds
then place the
Handset on the
Base Unit.
4. The Battery icon
will blink to indicate
that the Digital
Security Code is
set to one of the
more than 65,000
codes.
