Battery Notes:

• If the handset will not be used for a long period of time, remove the battery

to prevent possible leakage.

• When you first use the phone after charging or recharging the battery pack,

the phone might not work and you might hear error beeps. If this happens,
place the handset on the base to change the digital security code.

• Using a damp cloth, clean the charging contacts on both the handset and

base about once a month.

• The supplied battery pack should last about a year. If the battery pack

does not hold a charge for more than two hours after an overnight charge,
replace it with a new 3.6V, 600 mAh battery pack with a connector that
fits the socket in the battery compartment. You can order a replacement
battery pack through your local RadioShack store (or online at RadioShack.
com). Install the new battery pack and charge it for about 24 hours.

• If the phone does not work, recharge the battery pack. (The battery power

might be too low for the display to operate.)

flashes. When this happens, you cannot make a call on the phone

until you recharge the battery pack.

• If the battery pack is completely discharged or the base loses power while

the handset is away from it, place the handset on the base to change the
digital security code. If it was the handset that lost power, recharge the
battery pack.
