Cleaning the Battery Contacts

To maintain a good charge, clean the charging contacts on the handset

once a month. Dampen a cloth with plain water. Gently rub the damp cloth

over the charging contacts until all visible dirt is removed. Dry the contacts

thoroughly before returning the handset to the cradle.
Caution: Do not use paint thinner, alcohol, or other chemical products.

Doing so may discolor the surface of the telephone and damage the fi nish.

Low Battery Alert

When the battery pack is very low, the phone is programmed to eliminate functions in

order to save power. When LOW BATTERY appears in the display and the phone is in

standby, none of the keys will operate. If you are on a call, complete your conversation as

quickly as possible, and return the handset to the cradle.
The battery pack needs to be charged when the empty battery icon appears.

Battery Life

With average use, your handset battery provides approximately ten hours of talk time and approximately seven

days of standby time. You can achieve optimum battery life and performance by returning the handset to the base

or charger after each use. When your handset is left off of the cradle, the battery will gradually discharge even if

the handset is not being used. The actual talk time duration will be reduced in proportion to the amount of time the

handset is off of the cradle.

Power Failures

During a power failure, you will not be able to make or receive calls with the phone. To avoid damage from an

electrical spike when the power comes back on, we recommend you unplug your phone during power outages.
