• Using a pencil eraser, clean the
charging contacts on the handset
and the base about once a month
to make sure they are not dirty or
tarnished.
• About once a month, fully dis-
charge the battery by keeping the
handset off the base until the
BATT LOW indicator lights. Other-
wise, the battery pack loses its
ability to fully recharge.
• If the BATT LOW indicator does
not light, but the phone does not
work, recharge the battery pack.
(The battery charge might be too
low to light the indicator.)
• If the battery pack gets weak dur-
ing a call, a beep sounds about
every 30 seconds, and the BATT
LOW indicator flashes. If this hap-
pens, you cannot make another
call using the handset until you
recharge the battery pack.
• If the battery pack loses its charge
completely, the handset loses the
security access-protection code it
uses to communicate with the
base. To reset the security code
and recharge the battery pack,
place the handset on the base.
• 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 (see “Replacing the
Battery Pack” on Page 31).
