appears.

Recharge the battery pack when

flashes on the display.

Notes:

• When you first use the phone after

charging or recharging the battery pack,
the phone might not work and you might
hear a beep when you press

TALK

Return the handset to the base for about
5 seconds to reset the security access-
protection code.

• If the handset or the base loses power,

the security access-protection code
might be lost. To reset the code, return
the handset to the base for about 5 sec-
onds.

• Using a pencil eraser, clean the charg-

ing contacts on the handset and base
about once a month.

• If the battery pack becomes weak during

a call, the handset beeps every 3 sec-
onds and

Bemý8Wjj[ho

flashes.

• About once a month, fully discharge the

battery by keeping the handset off the
base until

Bemý 8Wjj[ho

flashes. Other-

wise, the battery pack loses its ability to
fully recharge.

• If the display is blank and the phone

does not work, recharge the battery
pack. (The battery power might be too
low to light the display.)

• If you are not going to use your phone

for an extended period of time, discon-
nect the battery pack. This increases the
battery pack's usable life.

The supplied battery pack should last about
a year. If the battery pack does not hold a
charge for more than 2 hours after an over-
night charge, replace it with a new 3.6-volt,
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. Install
the new battery pack and charge it for about
24 hours.

Warning: Dispose of the old battery pack
promptly and properly. Do not burn or bury it
(see “Battery Safety Instructions” on Page 4
for additional information on proper battery
handling).
