the phone might not work and you might
hear a beep when you press

Return the handset to the base for about
5 seconds to reset the security access-
protection code.

the handset to the base for about 5 sec-
onds.
Using a pencil eraser, clean the charg-

About once a month, fully discharge the

flashes. Other-
wise, the battery pack loses its ability to
fully recharge.
If the display is blank and the phone
does not work, recharge the battery
pack. (The battery power might be too
low to light the display.)
If you are not going to use your phone
for an extended period of time, discon-
nect the battery pack. This increases the
battery pack's usable life.
The supplied battery pack should last about
a 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. Install
the new battery pack and charge it for about
24 hours.
Warning:
Dispose of the old battery pack
promptly and properly. Do not burn or bury it
(see “Battery Safety Instructions” on Page 4
for additional information on proper battery
handling).
