Installation
• Using a pencil eraser, clean the charg-
ing contacts on the handset and base
about once a month.
• If the battery pack becomes weak during
a call, the handset beeps every 3 sec-
onds and

flashes. When this
happens, you cannot make a call.
• About once a month, fully discharge the
battery by keeping the handset off the
base until

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).
If you have trouble replacing the battery
pack, take the phone to your local
RadioShack for assistance.

SETTING THE DIALING

number either.
