• If the battery pack gets completely
discharged or the base loses power
while the handset is away from it,
the security access-protection code
needs to be reset. To reset the secu-
rity code, place the handset on the
base. If it was the handset that lost
power, leave the handset on the
base to charge the battery pack.
• The supplied battery pack should
last for about a year. When the bat-
tery pack loses its ability to fully
recharge, order a replacement bat-
tery pack from your local
RadioShack store. (See “Replacing
the Battery Pack” on Page 21.
