Also, check the charging contacts
on the handset and the base. If the
contacts are dirty or tarnished, clean
them with a pencil eraser.
• 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 secu-
rity 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.
• 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.
• About once a month, fully discharge
the battery pack by keeping the
handset off the base until
ap-
pears. Otherwise, the battery pack
loses its ability to fully recharge.
• To avoid damage to the battery
pack, always recharge the handset
before battery power grows too
weak to light
.
• 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.
• 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 “Re-
placing the Battery Pack” on
Page 33).
