Radio Shack TAD-1029 - Manual (Page 14)

• When you first use the phone after
charging or recharging the battery
pack, the phone might not work and
you might hear 3 short beeps when
you press
TALK . If this happens, re-
turn the handset to the base for about
5 seconds. This resets the security
access-protection code.
• About once a month, fully discharge
the battery pack by keeping the hand-
set off the base until the BATT LOW
indicator lights. Otherwise, the bat-
tery pack loses its ability to fully re-
charge.
• If the BATT LOW indicator does not
light, but the phone does not work, re-
charge the battery pack. (The battery
pack charge might be too low to light
the indicator.)
• If the battery pack becomes weak
during a call, you hear a beep and the
BATT LOW indicator flashes. End the
call as soon as conveniently possible,
and recharge the battery pack before
using the phone again.
• If the battery pack is completely dis-
charged or the base loses power
while the handset is away from it,
place the handset on the base to re-
set the security access-protection
code. If it was the handset that lost
power, recharge the battery pack.
• The supplied battery pack should last
for about a year. When the battery
pack loses its ability to fully recharge,
order a replacement battery pack
from your local RadioShack store
(see “Replacing the Battery Pack” on
Page 32).
SETTING THE DIALING
MODE
Set T/P (Tone/Pulse) on the back of the
base for the type of service you have. If
you are not sure which type you have,
after you charge the handset battery
pack, do this simple test.
1. Set T/P to T .
2. Press TALK on the handset and lis-
ten for the dial tone.
3. Press any number other than 0 .
Note: If your phone system requires
that you dial an access code (9, for
example) before you dial an outside
number, do not press the access
code either.
If the dial tone stops, you have
touch-tone service. Leave
T/P set to
T .
If the dial tone continues, you have
pulse service. Set
T/P to P .
4. Press TALK on the handset or place
the handset on the base to hang up.
