• If the battery pack gets completely
discharged, the ET-551 loses the
security access-protection code.
To reset the code, place the hand-
set on the base and charge the
battery pack.
• The supplied battery pack should
last about a year. When the bat-
tery pack loses its ability to fully
recharge, order a replacement
battery pack from your local Ra-
dioShack store (see “Replacing
the Battery Pack” on Page 19).

dial an outside number, do not
press the access code either.
