Installation
3. Put the battery pack in the compartment.
4. 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 the TALK/
BATT indicator on the handset flashes.
Important:
Be sure the battery pack is
properly connected before you try to charge
it. The CHARGE/IN USE indicator lights
when the handset is on the base even if the
battery pack is not properly connected.
Notes:
• When you first use the phone after
charging or recharging the battery pack,
the phone might not work and you might
hear an error signal. If this happens,
return the handset to the base for about
5 seconds to reset the security access-
protection code.
• Using a pencil eraser, clean the
charging contacts on the handset and
the base about once a month.
• If the phone does not work, recharge the
battery pack. (The battery power might
be too low to flash the TALK/BATT
indicator.)
• If the battery pack becomes weak during
a call, the handset beeps. When this
happens, you cannot make a call until
you recharge the battery pack.
• About once a month, fully discharge the
battery pack by keeping the handset off
the base until the TALK/BATT indicator
flashes. Otherwise, the battery pack
loses its ability to fully recharge.
• If the battery pack is completely
discharged or the base loses power
while the handset is away from it, place
the handset on the base to reset the
security access-protection code. If the
handset lost power, recharge the battery
pack.
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
overnight 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.
