Cleaning the battery charging contacts
To maintain a good charge, it is important to
clean the charging contacts on both the handset
and the base unit once a month. Use a dry
cloth or pencil eraser to clean. If the contacts
become very dirty, using water only, dampen a
cloth to clean the charging contacts. Then make
sure to go back over the charging contacts with
a dry cloth before returning the handset to the
base to charge.

Low battery alert
When the batteries are very low and need to be charged, the phone is programmed to
eliminate functions in order to save power.
The batteries need to be charged when:
- The battery icon
appears.
- “Low Battery” appears in the display.
If the phone is in the standby mode, none of keys will operate. If you are on a call,
complete your conversation as quickly as possible, and return the handset to the cradle.
