• About once a month, fully dis-
charge the battery by keeping the
handset off the cradle until LOW
BATT lights, then return the hand-
set to the cradle and fully
recharge the battery. If you do not
fully discharge and recharge the
battery periodically, it loses its
ability to fully recharge.
• The first time you use your phone
after installing a new battery, the
handset might not work and might
sound an error tone when you
press
TALK . This might also occur
when you recharge a battery that
has been completely discharged.
If this happens, be sure the hand-
set is turned on. Then return the
handset to the cradle for 5 sec-
onds. This resets the security
access code.
