about 5 seconds to reset the security
access-protection code.
If the base loses power for about an
hour while the handset is away from it,
the security access-protection code
might be lost. To reset the code, return
the handset to the base for about 5
seconds.
The handset does lose its security
access-protection code if the battery
pack is completely discharged. Place
the handset on the base to recharge the
battery pack and reset the code.
Using a pencil eraser, clean the
charging contacts on the handset and
base about once a month.
If the battery pack becomes weak during
a call, the handset beeps every 3
seconds and

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

flashes on the
display. Otherwise, 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, disconnect the
battery pack. This increases the battery
pack’s usable life.
The supplied battery pack should last for
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.
