Installation
If the handset’s display is blank and the
phone does not work, recharge the bat-
tery pack. (The battery power might be
too low to light the display.)
If the battery pack becomes weak during
a call, the handset beeps every 3 sec-
onds and
Bem

flashes. When this
happens, you cannot make another call
on the phone until you recharge the bat-
tery pack.
About once a month, fully discharge the
battery pack by keeping the handset off
the base until

flashes. Other-
wise, the battery pack loses its ability to
fully recharge.
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 reset the secu-
rity access-protection code. If the hand-
set loses power, recharge the battery
pack.
The supplied battery pack should last about
one year. If the battery pack does not hold a
charge for more than 2 hours after an over-
night charge, replace it with a new 3.6-volt,
600 mAh battery pack with a connector that
fits the socket in the battery compartment.
You can order a replacement battery pack
through your local RadioShack store.
Note:
To avoid losing memory numbers, in-
stall and begin charging the new battery
pack within 2 minutes.
Warning:
Dispose of the old battery pack
promptly and properly. Do not burn or bury it
(see “Battery Safety Instructions” on Page 5
for additional information on proper battery
handling).
If you have trouble replacing the battery, take
the phone to your local RadioShack store for
assistance.

SETTING THE DIALING
MODE
Your phone comes set for tone dialing. If you
have pulse service, you need to change the
dialing mode. If you are not sure which type
of service you have, do this test.
Press

SPEAKER indicator lights. Listen for a dial
tone, then press any number other than

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. If the dial tone continues, you have
pulse service.
