Installation
3. Put the battery pack in the compartment,
then replace the cover.
To charge the battery pack, simply place the
handset on the base, facing either up or
down. The CHARGE/IN USE indicator on the
base lights.
Recharge the battery pack when
Low
Bat-
tery
flashes on the display.
Important:
Be sure the battery pack is prop-
erly connected before you try to charge it.
The CHARGE/IN USE indicator lights when
the handset is on the base, even if the bat-
tery pack is not connected.
Notes:
• When you first use the phone after
charging or recharging the battery pack,
the phone might not work and you might
hear a five-beep error signal. If this hap-
pens, return the handset to the base for
about 5 seconds. This resets the secu-
rity access-protection code.
• Using a pencil eraser, clean the charg-
ing contacts on the handset and the
base about once a month.
• 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 the battery pack becomes weak during
a call, the handset beeps every 3 sec-
onds and
Low
Battery
flashes on the
display. When this happens, you cannot
make another call on the phone until you
recharge the battery pack.
• About once a month, fully discharge the
battery pack by keeping the handset off
the base until
Low
Battery
flashes
on the display. Otherwise, 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 lost power, recharge the battery
pack.
• The supplied battery pack should last
about a year. When it loses its ability to
fully recharge, order a replacement bat-
tery pack through your local RadioShack
store (see “Replacing the Battery Pack”
on Page 30).
SETTING THE DIALING
MODE
Set
DIAL MODE
on the back of the base for
the type of service you have. If you are not
sure which type you have, after you charge
the handset battery pack, do this test.
1. Set
DIAL MODE
to
T
(tone).
2. Lift the handset and listen for a dial tone.
3. Press any number other than 0.
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 number
either.
